The Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) issued a tender for a control center in Aswan’s USD 2.8 bn Benban solar park, according to company sources. The new center will manage the solar power plants under phase two of the feed-in tariff program, monitor production and progress on the development. ABB, Schneider, Siemens, General Electric, and NR Energy have all expressed interest and the EETC will begin receiving their financial offers next month and announce the winning bidder in August, the sources add. The tender comes as developers complain of delays in infrastructure development at the site.
