Eni offers to build 180 GWh solar power plant for the Balaeem oilfield

Eni has offered to build a 180 GWh solar power plant to supply power to the Balaeem oilfield and provide excess power to the national grid, according to an Oil Ministry statement published on Youm7. The Balaeem field will need 90 GWh while the remaining power will be used to supply other Oil Ministry sites. Oil Minister Tarek El Molla has agreed to form a committee with the Oil Ministry and Eni to study the project at a meeting with Oil Minister Mohamed Shaker and Eni’s senior VP for North Africa Adriano Mongini. The meeting also looked into providing gas supplies to the three Siemens power plants of Burullus, Beni Suef, and the new capital. (Read in Arabic)
