JOINT MEGA PROJECTS
Chinese giant energy corporations, including State Grid Corporation of China, Sinohydro, Dongfang Electric, Shanghai Electric, have been carrying out mega projects in Arab states including Egypt, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Morocco and Jordan over the past few years.
The projects include the construction of solar energy complexes and coal-fired power plants as well as upgrade of major grids and extension of power transmission lines.
In Egypt, Dongfang Electric and Shanghai Electric corporations are currently working on building a coal-fired power plant in Hamrawein region at the Red Sea coast with a total generating capacity of 6,000 megawatts.
"We're also working with China's Sinohydro on the construction of a major pumped-storage hydropower plant in Ataqah Mountain in Suez province northeastern Egypt with a capacity of 2,400 megawatts, besides our cooperation with State Grid Corporation of China and Huawei," Mousa said.
He added that Chinese experts also train Egyptian engineers every year in China to familiarize them with all new technologies in the field of energy.
Sinohydro has also been working on the establishment of a huge solar energy complex in Morocco's southeastern province of Ouarzazate that is expected upon completion by 2020 to provide clean energy for more than 1 million Moroccan homes, with even surplus electricity to export to Europe.
