The project was announced during a meeting in Cairo between Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi and Sungrow Chairman Cao Renxian. The presidency stated that discussions focused on a plan to create an energy storage battery factory in Egypt with an annual production capacity of up to 10 gigawatts (GW).
The integration of battery storage with solar PV is a game-changer for Egypt’s energy sector, providing reliable and dispatchable renewable energy and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. It not only meets Egypt’s current energy needs but also sets a precedent for future dispatchable hybrid renewable energy projects in the region.”
The latest announcements bring Amea Power’s total renewables capacity in Egypt to 2 GW of solar and 900 MWh of BESS. The company claims to have projects in 20 countries, with a pipeline above 6 GW and 1.6 GW currently in operation and under or near construction.
Cao highlighted his company’s expertise in manufacturing power plant components and energy storage batteries, adding that Sungrow is ready to cooperate with Egypt to localize the energy storage battery industry.
