The consortium includes Japan’s Yurtec Corporation and Solar Installer, and Egypt’s Redcon Construction .
NREA said that the plant is expected to generate 48 GWh annually, with solar generation supplying 36 GWh and the BESS 12 GWh.
The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will supervise the project.
In addition to power generation, the project aims to develop local technical capacity. A proposed training centre will educate engineers and technicians in solar systems, battery management, and sustainable operations. The facility will also serve as a model for hybrid energy solutions in coastal and desert areas.
