Aswan solar power project brightens Egypt’s energy outlook
By 2018, Upper Egypt will be home to Egypt’s largest and first-of-its-kind grid-connected solar power park.
About 25 miles north of Egypt’s southern governorate of Aswan, dozens of workers are racing against time to complete the North African country’s largest and first-of-its-kind grid-connected solar power park.
The $3.5 billion project, which is located in Aswan’s village of Benban, consists of 41 solar power plants with a total capacity of 1.8 gigawatts. The project began in 2015 and will be completed by 2018.
