Background
In 2015 financing was secured to build the New Damanhour power station.[5] However since then there has been little news. In 2019, due to a large surplus of power, the Egyptian government began considering delaying projects, including New Damanhour. Without any updates in 2021 the project is now considered to be shelved.[6]
