Dubai, United Arab Emirates; September 12th, 2024: AMEA Power, one of the fastest-growing renewable energy companies, signs Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to develop largest solar PV in Africa and first utility-scale battery energy storage system in Egypt.
Cairo, Egypt, June 15, 2025 – IFC today announced an investment to support Egypt's first utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS), deepening its partnership with AMEA Power, a leading renewable energy developer in Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, and the Government of Egypt to advance the country's clean energy ambitions.
After the successful development of the 500MW Abydos Solar PV Project, AMEA Power has been awarded two new landmark renewable energy projects in Egypt. The first project, a new 1,000MW solar PV power plant with a 600MWh BESS in the Benban area, Aswan Governorate, will mark a historic milestone as the largest Solar PV and BESS project in Africa.
The BESS integration marks Egypt's first project to be implemented under the Government of Egypt's fast-track 4GW Emergency Renewable Energy Program, which aims to meet growing electricity demand through clean and competitive sources and reduce reliance on imported natural gas.
