E&IM assigned for inspections and expediting for 116 MW Benban Solar Park in Egypt

E&IM has been awarded as service company to secure all inspections and expediting activities related to main supplies of Benban Solar Park project.

The objectives of the Project are to increase Egypt’s generation capacity by exploiting its vast RE potential and help the country to meet its power demand and reduce the dependence on gas and fuel for electricity generation, moving to a more balanced and environmentally sustainable energy mix.

Enerray S.p.A. has invested to develop three ground-mounted photovoltaic projects in Egypt. The PV plants will become a part of the 1.8 GW Benban Solar Park, the largest private-sector financed PV Park in the Middle East and North Africa.

The three Benban projects will have a cumulative capacity of 116 MWp and are:

• 25 MWp has been developed by Winnergy for Renewable Energy Projects S.A.E. 
• 25 MWp has been developed by Arinna Solar Power S.A.E
• 66 MWp has been developed by ARC for Renewable Energy S.A.E.

The construction is scheduled to start in April 2018
