- Masdar, Infinity Power, and Hassan Allam Utilities signed a deal with EETC to develop 1.2GW solar projects with 720MWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
- The projects include a 900MW solar plant in Wahat and a 300MW plant in Benban, which aim to reduce carbon emissions and boost clean energy in Egypt.
- This initiative is part of a broader 11GW renewable energy partnership and supports Masdar’s goal of reaching a 100GW renewable portfolio by 2030.
Masdar, Infinity Power, and Hassan Allam Utilities have signed a landmark agreement with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC). The deal involves two Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to develop solar projects with a combined capacity of 1.2GW and 720MWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
The companies will build a 900MW solar plant in Wahat and a 300MW plant in Benban, featuring BESS technology. These projects will cut carbon emissions and boost Egypt’s clean energy supply.
This agreement advances Egypt’s plan to accelerate its renewable energy transition and supports Masdar’s ongoing 4GW renewable energy program. Once completed, these solar plants will drive Egypt’s clean energy transformation.
This deal marks the first project from the strategic partnership between Masdar, Infinity Power, and Hassan Allam Utilities. The partnership aims to develop up to 11GW renewable energy capacity in Egypt.
Masdar’s Chief Executive Officer, Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, emphasised the importance of this collaboration. He said the partnership reflects Masdar’s commitment to driving Egypt’s clean energy transition. He added that by combining expertise, the partners will help Egypt achieve its sustainability goals and build a greener future.
The agreement is crucial in Egypt’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and meet its international climate commitments. Egypt aims to increase renewable energy’s share in its electricity mix, and this project aligns with that goal.
The project also supports Masdar’s broader target of developing a 100GW renewable energy portfolio by 2030. Masdar is central to the UAE’s efforts to triple global renewable capacity and combat climate change.
This collaboration between Masdar, Infinity Power, and Hassan Allam Utilities highlights the growing importance of renewable energy partnerships in the region. Egypt’s renewable energy expansion depends on collaborations like this, accelerating the country’s clean energy transition.
Egypt will move closer to its sustainability targets by developing these solar plants and improving energy access and reliability. The BESS technology will store excess energy for later use during peak demand, ensuring a consistent, clean power supply.
The initiative demonstrates how large-scale solar projects can strengthen Egypt’s energy security and contribute to the global push for renewable energy. Egypt is establishing itself as a regional leader in clean energy by working with international partners.
As Egypt takes these steps toward a more sustainable future, this agreement between Masdar, Infinity Power, Hassan Allam Utilities, and EETC is a significant milestone in the country’s renewable energy journey.
