Sungrow to furnish 36-MW solar-plus-storage plant at Egyptian gold mine

• China's Sungrow Power Supply Co Ltd (SHE:300274) revealed on Friday that it will supply tools for a 36-MW off-grid solar project at a gold mine in Egypt combined with a 7.5-MW battery.

Especially, Sungrow will provide the 1,500-V 6.25-MW solar (PV) inverter remedy and the highly incorporated energy storage space system with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. The client is German renewables firm Juwi AG, which, along with Cairo-based general service provider Giza Equipment, is constructing the solar-plus-storage plant at the Sukari gold mine.

According to the statement, this specific project will lead to the biggest solar-plus-storage plant located at a mine website. Sukari is run by an Egyptian federal government entity and also Centamin Plc (LON: CEY). The latter will partially change far from fuel usage thanks to this micro-grid project.

The plant is seen to be commissioned in the initial half of 2022.
