Norwegian renewable power developer Scatec has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) for a 1GW solar-plus-storage project currently under development in the country.
Which solar projects are being built in Egypt?
The first project involves a 1 GW solar plant with a 600 MWh BESS in the Benban area. The second project is a 300 MWh BESS at the site of Amea Power’s 500 MW Abydos solar array, which is currently under construction. Both projects are in Egypt’s Aswan governorate.
Will Egypt build a microgrid?
Earlier this year, state-owned utility Egyptian Electricity Holding Co. held an expressions-of-interest tender for the design, construction and operation of a 8.2 MW solar plant and 2 MW/4MWh battery energy storage system, which would be built at the site of an existing microgrid in western Egypt.
Does AMEA power have a solar project in Egypt?
The latest announcements bring Amea Power’s total renewables capacity in Egypt to 2 GW of solar and 900 MWh of BESS. The company claims to have projects in 20 countries, with a pipeline above 6 GW and 1.6 GW currently in operation and under or near construction.
Will Benban & Abydos be the largest solar-plus-Bess project in Africa?
Amea Power said the Benban site will be the largest solar-plus-BESS project in Africa, while the Abydos project will represent the first ever utility-scale BESS solution in Egypt. The company is investing $800 million across both projects, which are expected to provide energy to more than 769,000 homes.
