Saudi Arabia, Oman, Egypt, and Morocco led the list of significant deals announced during the month. The transactions reflect a broadening scope of investments in regional power infrastructure and clean energy sectors.<\/p>\n
The largest deal involved a three-billion-dollar financing agreement for grid expansion in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Electricity Company partnered with France\u2019s BNP Paribas and HSBC to fund network upgrades. This move supports the country\u2019s goal of enhancing grid reliability and capacity. The agreement was signed during high-level diplomatic talks between Riyadh and Paris.<\/p>\n
In Oman, Doosan Enerbility secured a contract worth approximately 671 million dollars for the Masfah power plant. The facility will have a capacity of 1,700 megawatts using combined cycle gas technology. Construction is scheduled to finish by April 2029, significantly boosting local energy supply in the capital region.<\/p>\n
Morocco launched a 1.5 billion dollar waste-to-electricity project in Casablanca. A consortium comprising Candivia Inova, Nariva, and Itochu will build the plant near the Mdeina landfill. The facility aims to process 1.5 million tons of waste annually while generating 115 megawatts of power through mixed fuel sources.<\/p>\n
Egypt signed a power purchase agreement with UAE-based Alcazar Energy for a wind farm in Zafarana. The 407-megawatt plant will operate under a Build-Own-Operate model. Commercial operations are expected to begin in 2028, contributing to Cairo\u2019s target of reaching 45 percent renewable energy capacity by 2030.<\/p>\n
