The National Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) aims to build solar power plants with a combined capacity of 2 GW, authority head Mohamed El Khayat said without specifying a timeframe or elaborating further. NREA has received 10 requests from companies looking to build projects with a capacity of 10 GW since Egypt announced its feed-in-tariff program, he said. A number of Arab and multinational companies have made offers to build renewable energy plants with a capacity up to 4 GW, Electricity Minister Mohamed Shaker told the local press.
