The firm’s senior Vice President Terje Osmundsen said they are looking forward to building more solar projects in Egypt aimed at addressing the country’s power shortage..

He added that as the sun is very stable from morning to evening, plenty of solar power can be generated in Egypt. These investments will create employment and sustainable power for the country..

Terje said the identified site is the best since currently it has over 40 solar sites and the area is undeveloped because there are no local jobs. The construction of the big solar plants here requires about 20,000 to 30,000 people..

The company Is currently focusing in Africa and more specifically Egypt as there are more opportunities and they are focusing more on renewable energy..
