JA Solar has announced that it has signed a 1.25GW procurement agreement with the China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) as the exclusive supplier of high-efficiency n-type modules for Egypt’s Abydos Phase II 1GW+600MWh PV-Storage project. The project is the largest of its kind in Africa, developed by AMEA Power and constructed by the CEEC.
Spanning approximately 20 square kilometers, it will feature Africa’s largest PV installation alongside the continent’s largest battery storage system. Upon completion, it is expected to generate approximately 3,000 GWh annually, supplying electricity to more than 500,000 households and offsetting more than 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.
Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly expressed high expectations for the project, noting its critical role in advancing the country’s Clean Energy Action Plan and fostering sustainable environmental and economic growth.
