Egypt’s Benban developers not made aware of 25% rise in costs

The Benban Solar Energy Developer Association representing companies working on projects in the Benban solar park were not made aware of an alleged 25% rise in investment costs, developers told PV Magazine. This came after reports emerged in the domestic press earlier this week that the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company raised the cost-sharing bill under the Feed-in-Tariff program on the back of increased building material costs.
