Egypt begins talks with Chinese-European consortium to build new capital control center

The Electricity Ministry has begun talks with China’s State Grid Corporation (SGCC), Siemens, and ABB to build an interactive control center for the new administrative capital, ministry sources told the local press. The Egyptian Electricity Holding Company will use loans it has already secured to finance the project, which the sources estimated will cost between EGP 1-1.3 bn. Egypt already owns six national and regional control centers.
