Dubai headquartered, renewable energy developer, AMEA Power has signed Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company to develop Africa’s largest solar PV project and Egypt’s first utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The first project is a 1,000 MW solar PV plant with a 600 MWh BESS in Benban, Aswan. The second expands its existing 500 MW Abydos Solar PV plant with a 300 MWh BESS. Located in Benban and Kom Ombo, Aswan, these projects will create 2,500 construction jobs, supply renewable energy to 769,800 homes, and offset over 2.3 million tons of carbon emissions annually. AMEA Power is investing $800 million.
