Globeleq is interested in investing in Egypt’s renewables, clean energy projects

Globeleq eyes Egypt energy investment: Africa-focused power producer Globeleq is looking to invest in electricity, renewable energy, green hydrogen and green ammonia projects in Egypt, the company’s renewables chief told Electricity Minister Mohamed Shaker yesterday, according to Ahram Gate.

Globeleq set foot in Egypt last year: The UK-based company entered the Egyptian renewables space last year when it acquired a 66-MW Benban solar plant from a consortium of Italian and Saudi companies.
