Egypt''s Renewable Energy Buildout Continues as First Utility
The BESS supports the solar power facility in Aswan Governorate in Egypt. Officials said the project is Egypt''s first utility-scale integrated solar and storage installation.
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.
In a separate announcement, Norway's Scatec said it had signed a 25-year PPA with Egyptian Electricity Transmission Co. (EETC) for a 1 GW solar and 100 MW/200 MWh battery storage hybrid project in Egypt. “This will be the first hybrid solar and battery project in Egypt,” said Scatec CEO Terje Pilskog.
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.
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.

Dubai-based developer Amea Power has agreed to build a 1 GW solar plant with a 600 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) and an additional 300 MWh BESS. Meanwhile,
Sineng Electric, in collaboration with Trina Storage, has recently delivered a major milestone in global energy cooperation with the successful grid connection and commercial operation
The increased penetration of fluctuating renewable energy sources, including primarily wind and solar energy, causes imbalance between supply and demand of energy, reduced capacity
But here''s the kicker – none of Egypt''s renewable energy dreams work without robust energy storage solutions. As of 2025, Egypt''s energy storage field is like a half-unwrapped mummy –
The project is located in the Kom Ombo area of Aswan, Egypt, and was built as an expansion of an existing 500 MW PV power plant. The energy storage station has a capacity of 150
