JUWI commissions 36 MW solar with 7.5 MW energy storage project in Sukari Gold Mine

JUWI Gruppe has commissioned its 36 MW solar project with bifacial photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on trackers and a 7.5 MW battery energy storage facility at the Sukari gold mine in Egypt.

The hybrid project will save up to 70,000 gallons of fuel every day, or an average of 22 million liters per year, as well as reduce operational expenses and carbon emissions.

Additional benefits of the hybrid power solution at Sukari include an anticipated 60,000 t CO2/year reduction in the plant's carbon emissions, a reduction in the volume of diesel trucked to the site, and a reduction in operating expenses.
