Siemens will begin commercial operations at the Burullus and Beni Suef power plants next week, with both plants producing 2 GW, Al Borsa reports. Three turbines at the Beni Suef plant, which have been operating on a trial run, will be fully operational at a production capacity of 400 MW per turbine, according to head of the Upper Egypt Electricity Production company, Ibrahim El Shahat. Commercial operations at the New Capital plant are also set to begin at the end of the month, Orascom Construction’s quality control manager had said earlier this month.
