Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy Mohamed Shaker said that currently there are work underway to build a new wind power complex with a capacity of 2,000 megawatts, located in the Red Sea governorate.

The German company Siemens will generate the 500 megawatts. Shaker also added that this step will take the generational capacity of renewable to the next level by increasing it to 10,000 megawatts, this all come as part of the state’s National Renewable Energy Strategy.

The National Renewable Energy Strategy looks forward to producing 20% of total energies from renewable sources by 2022, with the possibility of doubling the percentage by the year 2035, the minister added.

The energy produced from solar cells connected to the power grid amounted to about 3,655 gigawatt/hour, in addition to about 15 gigawatt/hour generated from biofuel projects.

We’re proud that our country is always aiming at developing clean energy for the better good of our community.

As we write this, we’re in deep and shock at what happened to a young victim in Maadi. A girl in her mid-twenties attacked by harassers to a death point…

The horrific incident happened in one of the streets of Maadi, the young girl was walking home, when suddenly three men started harassing her and when she tried to get away, the three men attacked her and dragged her for several meters on the asphalt.

Luckily, security services managed to identify three suspects after unloading footage from the security cameras around the area. Alerts have been sent out for the arrest of the three men responsible!

Our deepest condolences go to her family and friends, we’re still at shock and despair of what happened.

A second wave of the coronavirus is expected to hit and here’s how Egypt is preparing to face it!

Egypt’s Health Minister Hala Zayed said that if the wave does hit, Egypt will not force another lockdown and that it is preparing to face the second wave.

Egypt’s Health Minister Hala Zayed told the 67th session of the World Health Organization Regional Committee for the Eastern Mediterranean on Tuesday, that Egypt has learned from the first wave not to resort to the strategy of shutting down completely or even partially.

“This is the lesson we learned from the first wave; that countries should not resort to this strategy the way they did during the first wave, but should rather respond to surges in cases within localised [population] clusters,” Zayed said.

“However, all [precautionary] health measures will remain in place in the upcoming wperiod,” Zayed assured.

The minister also added that 2,300 persons have volunteered to undergo clinical trials in Egypt so far, and that 1,770 people have been subjected to full research.

The vaccine will be prepared at Factory 60 at VACSERA, the minister added.

Minister Hala Zayed also assured us that a number of 600 hospitals across the country are fully prepared to deal with any possible or sudden rise in number of cases.

During a press conference held in coordination with WHO, Zayed said: “we developed 45 fever and chest hospitals, and the development process of the remaining hospitals is underway.”

On an individual level, we must as well be prepared for a second wave and take precautionary levels to keep the number of cases at bay.
