Cairo – Mubasher: AMEA Power has signed capacity purchase agreements (CPAs) with the Egyptian government to develop the state’s first standalone battery energy storage stations, according to a press release.
The projects will have a combined capacity of 1,500 megawatt-hour (MWh), comprising a 500MWh BESS project in Zafarana and a 1,000MWh BESS project in Benban.
The agreements will foster Egypt’s clean energy transition by enhancing grid stability and enabling greater integration of renewable energy sources into the national energy mix.
Hussain Al Nowais, Chairman of AMEA Power, said: “By deploying advanced battery storage solutions, we are not only strengthening the country’s energy infrastructure but also paving the way for a more resilient and decarbonized power sector.”
“AMEA Power is fully committed to accelerating Egypt’s clean energy ambitions through innovative, large-scale renewable projects that drive economic growth, create jobs, and deliver lasting environmental benefits,” Al Nowais mentioned.
In December 2024, AMEA Power commenced its 500 MW Abydos Solar PV Plant in Aswan Governorate.
