First part of 400 MW solar PV project in Egypt enters commercial operation

Scatec Solar and partners have grid connected and reached commercial operation for 65 MW of their 400 MW Benban project in Egypt. The Benban solar power plant is Scatec Solar’s largest project under construction.

The estimated annual 870 GWh of electricity produced from Scatec Solar’s plants in Benban will avoid about 350,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year and provide energy for more than 420,000 households in Egypt. Scatec Solar expects to complete all six power plants during the second half of 2019.
