Solar and batteries could help Egypt beat its blackouts | CNN
Egypt''s first large-scale hybrid solar and battery plant has begun construction as the country looks to its abundant sunshine to help fix its energy crisis. Obelisk, located in Nagaa
Cairo Solar specializes in the EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) approach, in which the company manages system design, equipment procurement, and site construction. In this model, customers own the solar stations and experience a complete elimination of their electricity costs.
Later, Abdelhady (2021) investigated the performance of a solar dish (SD) power plant from both technical and economic aspects under the Egyptian weather conditions near Aswan city in the south of Egypt. The analysis results estimated 105 GWh/y of energy production from a 50 MW plant with a levelised cost of energy of 0.14/kWh.
The remaining 58.4% of the land was classified with low suitability for solar desalination plants. Upper Egypt's big cities, including Asuit, Sohag, Aswan, Qena, ElKharga oasis and Toshka are gifted with the highest potential for groundwater solar desalination, as indicated in Fig. 7.
Despite the low wind resources, a wind project in Cairo could be financially feasible if the annual electricity price experienced an increase of 5% coupled with a discount rate of 8% (Hamouda, 2012).
