Chinese solar manufacturer LONGi Green Energy Technology<\/a> says it will supply solar cells worth $500 million for renewable energy projects in Egypt by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal will support LONGi\u2019s strategy to strengthen its footprint in the region\u2019s burgeoning renewable energy<\/a> sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Shehab Orabi, LONGi\u2019s key account manager for North and Central Africa, the company aims to deliver between 2 and 2.5 gigawatts of solar cell capacity under contracts with prominent international firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaborations include a 1-gigawatt supply for Norway-based Scatec, which operates extensively in Egypt, and additional agreements with AMEA Power<\/a> and the UAE’s Masdar<\/a>, both of which are expanding their renewable energy portfolios in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masdar is planning a 4-gigawatt solar power plant in Egypt, and LONGi is set to contribute 1.25 gigawatts of solar cells for this ambitious project, marking a significant milestone in the region\u2019s solar energy development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egypt has been accelerating its renewable energy initiatives, with a target of generating 42% of its electricity from renewables by 2035. The country is leveraging projects like the Benban Solar Park and partnerships with international companies to meet its goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LONGi\u2019s entry aligns with these objectives and highlights the country\u2019s potential as a renewable energy hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egypt is also positioning itself as a future exporter of green energy to Europe by leveraging its geographic proximity and infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
