The latest announcements bring Amea Power’s total renewables capacity in Egypt to 2 GW of solar and 900 MWh of BESS. The company claims to have projects in 20 countries, with a pipeline above 6 GW and 1.6 GW currently in operation and under or near construction.
Amea Power, based in Dubai, is developing two large-scale renewable projects in Egypt after securing two PPAs with Egyptian Electricity Transmission Co. The first project involves a 1 GW solar plant with a 600 MWh BESS in the Benban area.
In a separate announcement, Norway’s Scatec said it had signed a 25-year PPA with Egyptian Electricity Transmission Co. (EETC) for a 1 GW solar and 100 MW/200 MWh battery storage hybrid project in Egypt. “This will be the first hybrid solar and battery project in Egypt,” said Scatec CEO Terje Pilskog.
MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
Key Factors Influencing BESS Prices Battery Technology: Lithium-ion batteries dominate the market, particularly Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) chemistries. LFP has become more popular than the other due to its lower cost and longer lifespan.
