Amea Power<\/strong> to<\/strong> set up 1.5 GWh energy storage in Benban, Zafarana: <\/strong>UAE-based Amea Power signed an agreement with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company to develop two battery energy storage systems (BESS) with a combined capacity of 1.5 GWh, according to an Egyptian Electricity and Renewable Energy Ministry statement<\/a>. Amea will set up a 500 MWh storage station in Benban and a 1 GWh facility in Zafarana, along with the necessary transformer stations and grid connections.<\/p>\n

The price tag:<\/strong> While the statement doesn\u2019t disclose the cost of the project, Amea Power CTO Mahabir Sharma said last month<\/a> that the project will cost USD 350 mn and is slated for completion by March 2027.<\/p>\n

Amea is no stranger to Benban:<\/strong> The firm is setting up a 1 GW solar power plant with a 600 MWh battery storage system in Benban, which it got the golden license for late last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been keeping busy: <\/strong>The company is currently working on a USD 600 mn, 5 GW wind power project in the Gulf of Suez, in collaboration with EETC and the New and Renewable Energy Authority. It recently inaugurated the 500 MW Abydos solar plant in Kom Ombo.<\/p>\n

SOUND SMART-<\/strong> A stand-alone BESS operates independently of any single power plant or specific power generation sources, storing electricity from the grid and discharging when needed. This contrasts with an integrated BESS, which is directly linked to a specific renewable energy source \u2014 typically solar or wind farms \u2014 storing only the power it generates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
