In a meeting with Electricity Minister Mahmoud Esmat Wednesday, French Ambassador in Cairo Éric Chevallier talked about accelerating steps to generate reliable and safe power energy through upgrading distribution transformers and supporting projects meant to develop the production of carbon-free hydrogen.

The get-together was a chance to reiterate French support for energy transition in Egypt to meet its ambitious goal to generate 42 percent of clean energy by 2030, the Embassy said in a statement.
