The contract to build Egypt’s 3 GW electricity interconnection project with Saudi Arabia is reportedly set to be signed this month, Egypt Today reports, quoting an unnamed Electricity Ministry source. Construction will then begin in June, they said. State-owned Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) said last month it’s pushing the window for companies bids in the project’s tender by up to 40 days. An initial tender was scrapped after the electric line plan was changed due to Saudi Arabia’s city project Neom.
