The Electricity Ministry has reportedly received three separate offers from an Egyptian, Chinese, an Emirati company for new renewable energy projects worth a combined USD 400 mn, ministry sources tell Al Borsa. The companies are looking to build wind and solar power plants under an Independent Power Producer (IPP) framework, which allows them to directly sell power to consumers while paying the state a fee to use the national grid for transmission. The sources did not give further detail.
