SWREL Hassan Allam JV Wins USD 560 mn Egypt Solar Contract

Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy (SWREL) and Hassan Allam Construction have secured an engineering, procurement and construction contract in Egypt for the West Minya solar power project valued at USD 560 mn. The joint venture will deliver a 1,000 megawatt alternating current (MWac) solar plant with an integrated 600 megawatt-hour (MWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The project is sited in Minya Governorate and is described as one of the largest utility-scale solar developments in the country.

Under the contract the joint venture will undertake full EPC responsibilities, including installation of photovoltaic generation facilities, battery storage infrastructure, transmission works and grid interconnection. The scope also covers balance-of-plant systems and associated civil and electrical works required for commercial operation. The companies indicated they will apply their experience in large-scale solar delivery to meet the agreed timeline while maintaining safety and quality standards.

SWREL reported that this order represents the third gigawatt-scale award secured by the company in the last nine months, reflecting the growth in large solar PV projects globally and continued customer confidence in execution capabilities. The inclusion of advanced BESS technology is expected to support grid stability and enable higher renewable penetration by storing midday generation for later use. The development is positioned to contribute to Egypt's renewable capacity and to strengthen regional presence for the contractors.

Project financing details were not disclosed in the announcement but the contract value demonstrates substantial investment in clean energy infrastructure in the Middle East and North Africa region. Completion of the works will require coordination with local authorities and grid operators to ensure timely commissioning and handover. The joint venture will proceed with procurement and construction activities as per the contract schedule.
