Misr Beni Suef Cement Company (MBSC) has entered into an agreement to establish a solar power plant at its facility in Beni Suef Governorate, Egypt. The contract is valued at EGP 298 million and involves cooperation with the International Renewable Solutions Company (IRSC), Jinko, and Huawei.
The project aims to support the company’s shift toward clean energy sources. It is designed to integrate solar power into the company’s energy mix to reduce its environmental impact. The solar power plant will serve the cement production facility and help lower carbon emissions associated with its industrial processes.
The collaboration involves Jinko, a manufacturer of photovoltaic (PV) panels, and Huawei, a provider of energy storage and smart energy solutions. Their involvement will ensure the integration of advanced solar and energy storage technologies into the plant’s operations. The project reflects Egypt’s growing focus on renewable energy and the private sector’s increasing role in supporting sustainability efforts.
Egypt has been actively developing renewable energy projects in recent years. The country’s focus includes solar and wind energy initiatives to diversify energy sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One of the largest renewable energy projects in Egypt is the Benban Solar Park, located in Aswan. The park has a total installed capacity of 1.8 gigawatts (GW), making it one of the largest solar installations globally. It consists of multiple solar plants developed by various private sector entities.
Wind energy projects are also expanding in Egypt. The Gulf of Suez Wind Farm, with a capacity of 262.5 megawatts (MW), is among the notable initiatives. It provides clean energy for local industries and residential areas while supporting the country’s renewable energy strategy.
Egypt’s renewable energy projects, including Meri Ben Suef Cement company- solar plant, contribute to national goals for reducing reliance on fossil fuels and increasing clean energy capacity in line with the country’s energy diversification plans.
