Electricity Ministry to tender EUR 40 mn solar power plant in Kom Ombo this month

The Electricity Ministry plans to issue a global tender this month for the development of a EUR 40 mn, 20 MW solar power plant in Kom Ombo, Aswan, officials tell Al Mal. The plant, Kom Ombo’s first, is being funded by the French Development Agency, which has also allocated EUR 8,000 to feasibility studies. Germany’s ILF Consulting Engineers is supervising the implementation of the project, which should be operational in 2019. Separately, the ministry will receive offers for consultancy work for a 250 MW wind power plant in Zaafarana on 17 September and make a choice before the end of the year. The project, partly funded by European institutions, will be offered to developers next year.
