The EBRD has provided a $30 million equity bridge loan to support Egypt’s first major hybrid renewable energy project, which has now officially broken ground. The installation combines large-scale solar with battery storage capabilities.
Norwegian renewables developer Scatec has started building the 1.1 GW solar plant with a 100 MW/200 MWh battery energy storage system in Nagaa Hammadi through its special purpose vehicle, Obelisk Solar Power.
