Abydos Phase II Solar-Storage Project to Advance RE in Egypt

JA Solar has agreed to supply 1.25 GW of solar modules to China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) for the Abydos Phase II solar-storage project in Egypt. The project, developed by AMEA Power and built by CEEC, will combine 1 GW of solar capacity with 600 MWh of battery storage. It is considered the largest hybrid solar-storage initiative in Africa.

The Abydos Phase II project is located on a 20-square-kilometer site. Once operational, it is expected to produce nearly 3,000 GWh of electricity each year. This energy will be sufficient to power more than 500,000 homes. The project will also help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 1 million tonnes annually, contributing to Egypt’s efforts to transition to cleaner energy sources.

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly described the project as an important step in Egypt’s Clean Energy Action Plan. He also highlighted its role in supporting sustainable growth and improving the stability of the country’s power grid. Madbouly encouraged Chinese companies to expand their renewable energy investments in Egypt, particularly in line with Vision 2030, which seeks to enhance energy efficiency and diversify energy sources.

In addition to Abydos Phase II, Egypt is working on other renewable energy projects. The Kom Ombo Solar Plant in southern Egypt, with a planned capacity of 200 MW, is under construction. The Zaafarana wind farm near the Red Sea continues to supply clean electricity and plays a part in Egypt’s renewable energy strategy.

Cairo has also launched smaller solar initiatives to promote distributed energy generation. For example, the “Cairo Sun Project” focuses on installing rooftop solar panels on government and public buildings, with a total capacity of 10 MW. Additionally, the “Solar for Communities” program introduces solar installations in schools and community centers across the city, aiming to generate 5 MW of electricity. These projects aim to reduce reliance on fossil fuels in urban areas while increasing awareness of renewable energy.
