About Abydos: In September, Amea Power secured agreements to develop the next phase of the project, Abydos 2, which will add an additional 1 GW of power capacity and 600 MWh of BESS capacity. After the additions, the project is set to be the largest in Africa, offsetting 782.3k tons of CO2 emissions and powering about 300k households. Last week, Egypt’s Cabinet granted phase 2 of the project the country’s golden license to streamline its development.
Amea has another major Egypt development in the pipeline: The firm is working to set up a USD 600 mn, 5 GW wind power project in the Gulf of Suez in cooperation with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company and the New and Renewable Energy Authority.
