The Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC), the state-owned power grid operator, signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Alcazar Energy to construct a 407-MW wind power project in the Zafarana region. The agreement was signed by Mona Rezk, Chairwoman of the EETC, and Mohamed Zidan, Senior Director of Alcazar Energy in Egypt, a sustainable infrastructure fund focused on utility-scale renewable energy projects in emerging markets, with an advisory team based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The project is projected to supply clean electricity to around 775,000 households and significantly reduce carbon emissions, with operations scheduled to commence in 2028.

Jordan’s Samra Electric Power Generation signed an engineering, procurement and construction contract with SITE Technology General Contracting to develop a 25 MW wind power project in Ma’an Governorate, fully funded by the UAE government. The contract, which covers the design, supply and installation of five wind turbines at Batn Al Ghul, falls under a cooperation agreement signed in February between Jordan’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company. Jordan’s cabinet also approved the 2025–2035 energy strategy in May, aiming to increase the share of renewable energy in the electricity mix to 40% by 2035, while expanding wind and solar generation capacity, as well as enhancing green hydrogen projects.

Morocco secured $114 million in funding for Africa‘s first electric vehicle battery gigafactory, marking another milestone in the country’s ambition to become a regional hub for electric mobility. The package includes a $110 million loan from the African Development Bank (AfDB) to support the facility’s development. The funding would enable Gotion Power Morocco, backed by China‘s Gotion High-Tech, to develop an integrated lithium iron phosphate battery manufacturing plant in the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra Free Trade Zone. The AfDB also plans to mobilize up to $162.6 million in additional financing from development partners through the New African Financial Architecture for Development initiative. The first phase of the battery plant is expected to produce 10 GWh of battery cells and packs annually, with longer-term plans to expand capacity to 100 GWh.
