AMEA Power has commissioned a 120 MWp solar project in the Kairouan Governorate of Tunisia. The project was financed with support from the International Finance Corporation, part of the World Bank Group, along with the African Development Bank. It is expected to produce about 222 GWh of electricity annually, sufficient to meet the annual power demand of nearly 43,000 households. Moreover, the project is estimated to reduce carbon emissions by around 117,000 tonnes annually.
The project is reportedly the country’s first renewable energy installation with a capacity exceeding 100 MWp and the first renewable project developed under the concessions regime to achieve both financial close and commercial operation. Furthermore, the project will have an integrated substation with a loop-in/loop-out configuration and also directly inject power to Société Tunisienne de l’Électricité et du Gaz’s (STEG) 225 kV high-voltage transmission network.
In July 2025, AMEA Power commissioned Egypt’s first utility-scale 300 MWh battery energy storage system, powered entirely by solar power and brought online ahead of its scheduled commercial operation date following financial close. The facility forms an extension of the company’s existing 500 MW solar plant in Aswan Governorate, which was commissioned in December 2024.
