Before we tell you its story, do not forget to subscribe to the channel and activate the

housing units. At a distance of twenty kilometers from the huge Benban complex.
and which is considered Egypt's gateway to the world. Here's a story. Egypt falls within
the solar belt. Therefore, its average radiation is very high. Where
the amount of radiation falling reaches six trillion kilowatt-hours per day.
and meet the increasing demand for electricity and to move to a sector,
more environmentally sustainable electricity, which the Egyptian government realizes its need for
to more electrical projects. Therefore, it allocated six thousand six hundred thousand
square kilometers only for renewable energy projects. This is in order to
increase the supply of electricity generated from renewable sources to twenty
percent. By the year two thousand and twenty-two. And forty-two percent
by the year two thousand and thirty-five. The wind will supply fourteen
percent. Hydropower and one separator ninety-eight
percent. And the photovoltaic energy is twenty-one three percent separator.
solar capital of the world. Egypt occupies fourth place in the world in terms of
after India and China for its establishment of the largest solar energy stations, and the place got one
this advanced rank after building the Benban project, which has been likened
at the High Dam. Due to its magnitude and high ability to generate
electricity and is close to the capacity of the dam. The project is considered one of the largest in
clean and renewable energy plants in the Middle East. It is located remotely
about thirty kilometers northwest of Aswan in the village of Benban. Many power connectors have been
to the selection of the site based on NASA reports that
of the most brilliant sites in the world. Work on the project has started
in the year two thousand and fifteen. On an area of ​​nine thousand acres.
investments that exceeded two billion dollars. And it was implemented by about
forty companies specialized in solar energy. During a period that lasted
four years until the opening date in the year two thousand and nineteen. The project provided
with more than twenty thousand job opportunities. And after its opening, it provided six thousand
fixed in companies permanently. The Benban complex includes thirty-two stations,
solar to generate electricity. The number of boards in it reaches two hundred thousand boards.
designed to produce an additional 2,000 megawatts of electricity. This contributes
in avoiding two million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. It is considered
project button, the first step to exploiting the sun on Egyptian soil,
to generate electricity and then transfer it to Europe through the continuous linkage
between Egypt and Cyprus. It will also allow Egypt to export energy to each of the continent
African energy and in a number of Arab countries. Electrical interconnection
global energy. Egypt has succeeded in doubling its share seven times in
clean. This is through projects it has implemented and other projects
it is planning. Especially after the COP twenty-seven climate summit. Which was held
the past in Sharm El-Sheikh. Through which Egypt obtained investments
foreign hub worth eighty-five billion dollars worth of renewable energy.
and to absorb the quantities of clean energy produced, Egypt made, as a first step,
by modernizing and developing electricity networks. The cost of developing networks has been estimated at about
three billion dollars. And as part of Egypt's plan to become a global

A memorandum of understanding was signed to establish a link line with Cyprus and Greece, and from there to Egypt.

the two thousand and twenty also started feeding the Sudanese electricity network with
eighty megawatts. It also signed agreements for the exchange of electricity with
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a capacity of up to three thousand megawatts.
Egypt also exports four hundred and fifty megawatts with Jordan
two hundred megawatts with Libya. It seeks energy exchange with Iraq and Syria,
And Lebanon. Will Egypt succeed in its plans and become a global center for production?
