It is subject to a table tax of EGP 20 per 1,000 cubic feet. This comes as part of a wider plan to increase state revenues and widen the tax base.

Egypt is also planning to strengthen cooperation with Azerbaijan and Turkey and expand its mining and energy sectors.

The government is preparing to add 1,800 megawatts of solar power to the national electricity grid in June 2026 to cut gas consumption.
