Description
The installation of a 750 MW Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) at the Giza North Power Plant in the Nile estuary area northwest of Cairo to meet growing demand of electricity and increase the fuel efficiency of power generation in Egypt.
Objectifs
The aim is to expand generation capacity to meet projected growth in electricity demand. The application of Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) – module 3 – technology allows for high fuel efficiency in generation and as such contributes to mitigating green-house gas emission (GHG) intensity in the electricity sector.
Secteur(s)
Montant BEI envisagé (montant approximatif)
EUR 50 million
Coût total (montant approximatif)
EUR 495 million
Aspects environnementaux
A more energy-efficient technology with lower emissions than the steam cycle plants currently used in Egypt for base load generation, resulting in CO2 emissions decrease. The project is thus expected to help meet electricity demand with lower environmental impact than other fossil fuel based alternatives.
