Renewable energy group Empower is planning to scrap its power purchase agreement with the North Delta Electricity Distribution Company for its 350-920 kWh biogas power plant in Kafr El Sheikh, CEO Hatem El Gamal tells Al Mal. According to El Gamal, the tariff the company had agreed upon back in June 2018 — EGP 1.03 per kWh — is too low. The government had set last month the official waste-to-energy (WtE) tariff at EGP 1.40 per kWh, which El Gamal says is an ideal price range.
