At its core, the system combines solar photovoltaic arrays with a flow battery storage setup that could power 15,000 homes. But here's the kicker—they're using retired EV batteries from Europe, giving old power packs new purpose under the African sun [1].
[pdf] The battery system will have a discharge capacity of 38 MW and a storage capacity of up to 70.8 MWh, designed to operate for around twenty years. An environmental assessment is required because the investor, the local company Funicula, plans to develop the site as a standalone solar power plant.
[pdf] If you’ve ever wondered how Egypt plans to keep its pyramids lit at night while transitioning to solar power, lithium batteries might just be the answer. Cairo’s lithium battery energy storage systems are rapidly becoming the backbone of Egypt’s renewable energy push.
