The first phases of Egypt’s New Capital and Burullus power plants have been officially inaugurated.
The projects, which are being built by a consortium comprising Siemens, Orascom, and Elsewedy Electric, will be the largest gas-fired combined cycle power plants (CCPPs) upon completion.
The consortium has already succeeded in connecting 2,400MW to Egypt’s national grid through the power plants, exceeding delivery targets by 20%.
Once complete, each power plant will generate a total of 4,800MW.
