Work is underway on a 1.1 GW solar project with 100 MW/200 MWh of accompanying battery energy storage in Egypt. The first phase of the project is scheduled for commercial operation during the first half of next year.
The project, billed as Egypt's first hybrid solar and battery project, will be built in two phases. The first will see 561 MW of solar constructed alongside 100 MW/200 MWh of battery storage, with a targeted date for commercial operation in the first half of next year.
The project is set to unfold in two phases, with the first phase targeting completion by mid-2026. The Obelisk solar and battery storage project will be developed in two distinct phases. The initial phase encompasses the installation of a 561 MW solar plant alongside a BESS capable of storing 100 MW/200 MWh of electricity.
This project marks a significant milestone as it represents the country's first hybrid solar and battery initiative. With an investment of approximately USD 590 million, Scatec aims to boost Egypt's renewable energy capacity, contributing to the nation's sustainability goals.
