Scatec Solar starts commercial operations on third part of its 400 MW Benban solar project

Scatec Solar has launched commercial operations on the third of six planned 65 MW photovoltaic installations that it is constructing in Egypt’s 1.8 GW Benban solar park, Renewables Now reports. This comes just a week after the Norwegian company announced that commercial operations on the second plant had been launched. When finalized, the six plants will comprise a 400 MW solar facility, capable of generating 870 GWh each year. The whole project is expected to be completed by the end of 2019.
