AMEA Power to construct solar farm in Ivory Coast
AMEA Power has actually signed a concession agreement and also 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Ivory Coast government for a 50MW solar PV project. The facility will be the first solar independent power project (IPP) in Ivory Coast and also situated at the city of Bondoukou in the north-eastern area of Gontougo, 420km northeast of Abidjan. At an overall investment of around $60m, the solar project is being fully developed by AMEA Power under a build-own-operate and also transfer (BOOT) model and also will generate more than 85GWh of clean power per year, enough for around 350,000 people. The offtaker for the project will certainly be Compagnie Ivoirienne d'Electricité, which is in charge of the electric network throughout the country. Hussain Al Nowais, Chairman of AMEA Power, stated: "AMEA Power is proud to be supporting Ivory Coast satisfy its clean energy ambitions, which will provide investment, job creation as well as sustainable advancement. The country is undertaking an economic as well as social change, which will be driven by the growth of clean power and also is reflective of the broader continent. " AMEA Power has a proven track record of supplying projects in West Africa. The area has a great amount of untapped potential for renewable energy and also green hydrogen. As AMEA Power broadens its investments throughout Africa, we will work in partnership with governments, businesses as well as neighborhood communities to develop projects."

AMEA Power begins Egypt’s 1-GW solar project with grid battery
AMEA Power has kicked off on-site panel installation for its 1-gigawatt solar project in Egypt’s Benban cluster near Aswan, alongside a 600-megawatt-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) that will convert daytime generation into dispatchable evening capacity. The integrated build is on course to be one of Africa’s largest solar-plus-storage plants, reflecting a shift from simply adding megawatts to shaping them to match grid needs. Technically, the project follows a mature, lender-friendly blueprint. Expect high-efficiency modules on single-axis trackers, DC/AC ratios calibrated for strong annual yield, and plant controllers that meet Egyptian grid-code requirements for reactive power, frequency-watt response, and ride-through during faults. The co-located battery—likely two to four hours of duration—will absorb midday surpluses, discharge across the dusk ramp, and provide fast frequency response and voltage support in seconds. Benban’s infrastructure provides advantages: established transmission corridors, experienced EPC crews, and known permitting workflows. Even so, schedule certainty hinges on early procurement of long-lead electrical gear and careful sequencing of substation works. Staged commissioning can bring blocks online sooner, allowing revenue generation while remaining sections complete. Commercially, pairing PV with storage boosts capture rates by shifting energy into higher-value evening windows and reduces curtailment risk during bright, low-load periods. It also diversifies revenue into ancillary services and potential capacity products as market frameworks evolve. For Egypt’s grid operator, the hybrid plant acts as a local shock absorber—dampening price spikes, reducing gas burn, and improving system resilience during contingencies. Community and environmental measures are integral: traffic management, dust and noise controls, habitat and drainage plans suited to desert conditions, and end-of-life pathways for modules and battery systems. Post-COD, a strict O&M regime—thermal scans, cell balancing, firmware updates—will underpin availability and safety across the asset’s life. As electrification and industrial growth lift evening demand, AMEA Power’s Benban project is a blueprint for Africa’s next wave of utility-scale renewables: big, bankable, and built with the flexibility to deliver clean power when it’s most needed.
