The Egyptian Cabinet approved four renewable energy projects led by Kemet Industries Group, including two solar power plants (320 MW and 400 MW) in Bahariya Oasis and a 2,000 MW solar plant in Nagaa Hammadi, along with a 2,000 MWh battery storage system. Agreements with relevant authorities for land and electricity purchase were authorized.

The projects are expected to commence operation in 2027. A MoU with China's TBEA aims to localize solar equipment production. Concurrently, EETC issued a tender for a 500 MW solar plant in West Nile, with bids due by May 11, 2026, part of Egypt's strategy to increase renewable energy to 42% by 2030.
