Egypt plans to expand the El-Dabaa nuclear power plant by adding two more reactors to its current four-reactor configuration, aiming to increase nuclear energy capacity and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The project is developed with Russia's Rosatom and aligns with Egypt’s strategy to increase renewable energy share to 45% by 2028.
