Egypt's Ministry of Transportation said on Monday that it will use the roofs of government buildings and affiliated agencies to establish solar power stations.

Egypt has been taking measures recently to diversify sources of energy, in a bid to face increasing demand. In a statement, the ministry said that above-ground metro stations will be among the buildings used to generate electricity, MENA reported.

The Egyptian Company for Metro Management and Operation has partnered with the Arab Organisation for Industrialisation to implement two models of solar power plants on the roofs of Demerdash (15 kilowatt/ hour) and Ghamra metro stations (30 kilowatt/ hour), according to the statement.
