Benban, Abydos expansions to add 1,000 MW of renewable energy capacity to Egypt’s national grid

Egypt is set to add 1,000 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy capacity and 600 megawatt-hours (MWh) of battery storage to national grid.

Industry Minister Khaled Hashim said the scheme directly targets what he called “the main impediment” for SMEs, land cost and availability

The system combines hydroponic cultivation of duckweed also known as water lentils with sensors and artificial intelligence models.

Government is targeting a significant increase in private-sector participation, aiming for the private sector to account for 65% of total investment.
