AMEA Power has commissioned the 500 MW Abydos Solar PV Plant in Egypt, located in the Aswan Governorate. The plant will generate approximately 1,500 GWh of renewable energy annually, offsetting 782,300 tonnes of carbon emissions. This project was completed in 18 months.
Additionally, AMEA Power signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) and land agreement for a 500 MW wind project in Egypt. The Abydos Solar PV Plant was financed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank (FMO), and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
In September 2024, EliTe Solar announced investment plans to build an 8 GW solar manufacturing hub in Egypt’s Suez Special Economic Zone. In February 2024, Scatec ASA inked a deal to build a 1 GW solar project that will provide clean energy to the Egypt Aluminium Company’s facility in Nagaa Hammadi, Upper Egypt.
