This is ACCIONA's first renewable project in Egypt

In February 2019, eleven months after construction works started, ACCIONA and Enara Bahrain Spv Wll (ENARA), the renewable energy platform of the Saudi company Swicorp, completed three photovoltaic plants in Egypt with a total a rated capacity of 150 megawatts (MW) - 186 MWp. The facilities, owned at 50% by both companies, represent an investment of around 180 million US dollars and are located in the Benban complex, set up by the Egyptian Government in the Aswan region. They represent the first renewables project by ACCIONA Energía in Egypt.

The three projects come under the feed-in tariff system established by the Egyptian Administration in call for tender Round 2, published in October 2016. Overall, they will produce clean energy equivalent to the consumption of around 150,000 Egyptian homes and avoid the emission of 297,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum from fuel-oil power plants.
