Zafarana 50 MW Grid Connected PV Power Plant
Egypt’s demand for electricity is growing rapidly because of rapid urbanisation and economic growth. The need to develop alternative power resources is becoming ever more urgent. Alternative energy options such as PV can help meet the increasing demand. NREA has set strategic targets to supply 20% of the electric energy demand form RE sources by the year 2022. In response to the government’s request, KfW cooperated with NREA on the identification and financing of a solar power plant with an installed capacity of 50 MW to be built in Zafarana.
NREA assigned intec to support their project implementation team and to supervise the PV plant procurement, construction as well as its operation and maintenance during the five year warranty period.

The Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP), co-funded by the European Union (EU) and the German government and implemented by GIZ in collaboration with the Federal ministry of Power, Works and Housing (FMPWH), builds upon an initial 4-year phase during which NESP supported, inter alia, regulatory reforms allowing for the integration of variable ER, notably solar, into the grid.; the development of a structured bidding approach for competitive procurement of on-grid solar capacities and to enhance and better grid planning and operations. The programme also supported general policy formulation and sector coordination.
During its second phase, NESP will continue supporting on all these aspects. Additionally, NESP II will support project driven structured bidding approaches in line with government strategies, extend the transmission focus towards the distribution level and will support additional regulatory topics, e.g. with regards to ancillary services
