Gamesa Electric will supply 66 Solar Power Stations for a total of 132 high-efficiency Gamesa E-2.5 MVA-SB-I PV Inverters at 1500Vdc.
The projects will provide all the power generated to the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA).
Streamlining red tape, ditching subsidies for bill payers and improving investment conditions could see Egypt become a multi-GW market for solar, according to a recent report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
