energy projects in Egypt. 900MWh battery energy storage systems (BESS). Dubai, United Arab Emirates; September 12th, 2024: AMEA Power, one of the fastest-growing renewable energy companies, signs Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to develop largest solar PV in Africa and first utility-scale battery energy storage system in Egypt.
Egypt has been looking at a number of ways to store electricity as part of its ambitions to grow renewable energy capacity to cover 42% of the country’s electricity needs by 2030. These include upgrading its power grid and incorporating pumped-storage hydroelectricity stations to help store electricity for future use.
A Cabinet meeting chaired by prime minister Mostafa Madbouly on Thursday approved the implementation of a project to add 1,200 MW of solar energy capacity in combination with 240 MWh of battery storage in Egypt.
Egypt is exploring the potential of energy storage through batteries to combat our electricity oversupply problem: As Egypt continues to suffer from a major oversupply of electricity, the country is in need of new ways to tackle the issue.
After the successful development of the 500MW Abydos Solar PV Project, AMEA Power has been awarded two new landmark renewable energy projects in Egypt. The first project, a new 1,000MW solar PV power plant with a 600MWh BESS in the Benban area, Aswan Governorate, will mark a historic milestone as the largest Solar PV and BESS project in Africa.
The Egyptian Cabinet has already approved the cooperation agreement between EEHC and Scatec. This decision aligns with the government's commitment to increasing the country's renewable energy capacity. By embracing projects like the solar and battery storage initiative, Egypt aims to diversify its energy sources and reduce its carbon footprint.
