The Installation of Photovoltaic Modules for The Largest Photovoltaic Storage Project under Construction in Africa Has Been Fully Launched

    On October 19th local time, the photovoltaic modules of the 1GW + 600MWh power storage project in Abidous, Egypt, jointly constructed by China Energy Engineering Group Corporation, Zhejiang Thermal Power Engineering Co., Ltd., and Southwest Institute, have entered the full installation stage. This marks that the project is accelerating towards the goal of grid connection and power generation.

    As the largest photovoltaic storage project currently under construction in Africa, this project will install over 2 million high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic modules manufactured in China. The project team has planned ahead and closely cooperated with the owner, achieving the rapid shipment of photovoltaic modules and conducting strict briefings on installation standards and safety management, laying a solid foundation for subsequent modular and high-efficiency construction. Currently, the project team is fully advancing the parallel operations of multiple processes such as site leveling, pile foundation, and support installation in the photovoltaic area, and is striving to achieve the goal of full capacity grid connection, dedicated to making this project a benchmark for green energy cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative and a regional energy transformation model project.

    The Abidus Phase II Solar Storage Project in Egypt is located in the southern desert of Egypt, covering an area of over 20 square kilometers. The project's scope includes 1GW of photovoltaic power generation, 600MWh of energy storage, a 500kV substation and ancillary facilities. After grid connection, it will meet the electricity demands of over 500,000 households, and will reduce 1.56 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, making significant contributions to Egypt's green and low-carbon energy transition and economic and social development.
