Three photovoltaic farms at Egypt’s 37km² Benban Solar Park have been assembled and are nearing operational readiness, following development completion by Spain’s Acciona Energía and Enara Bahrain, the renewable energy subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Swicorp.

The renewable energy parks have a combined electricity production capacity of 150MW and will eventually generate power for up to 150,000 homes. 

Enara and Acciona Energía, the renewable energy subsidiary of Spanish contractor Acciona,will operate the parks under a joint venture (JV) agreement. Both firms will hold 50% stake in the projects, valued at $180m (SAR675m).
