Egypt set for 1.1 GWh of battery storage across three projects
Dubai-based developer Amea Power has agreed to build a 1 GW solar plant with a 600 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) and an additional 300 MWh BESS. Meanwhile,
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.
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.
Amea Power, based in Dubai, is developing two large-scale renewable projects in Egypt after securing two PPAs with Egyptian Electricity Transmission Co. The first project involves a 1 GW solar plant with a 600 MWh BESS in the Benban area.
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.
