4 FAQs about Egypt Power Storage

Could battery storage be a game-changer for Egypt's energy sector?

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.”

Will IFC support Egypt's first utility-scale battery energy storage system?

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.

How does solar power work in Egypt?

It takes Egypt's green energy transition to another level by harnessing the power of the sun, not just during the day but also at night, thanks to the combination of solar and battery storage. The project addresses the growing demand for electricity and reduces the need to import expensive fossil fuels.

Which solar projects are being built in Egypt?

The first project involves a 1 GW solar plant with a 600 MWh BESS in the Benban area. The second project is a 300 MWh BESS at the site of Amea Power's 500 MW Abydos solar array, which is currently under construction. Both projects are in Egypt's Aswan governorate.
