Investors from Egypt, China, Bahrain, and the UAE will jointly build a large-scale integrated photovoltaic industry chain park in Egypt, and the relevant land use rights contract has been signed.
The Atom Solar Egypt complex plans to build 2GW of solar cells, 2GW of modules, and 1GWh of energy storage facilities, covering over 200,000 square meters in the Sokhna Industrial Zone within the Suez Canal Economic Zone.
The signing ceremony was held in the presence of Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly. According to Egypt's State Information Service (SIS), the project has a total investment of US$220 million and is jointly funded by Egypt's AH Company, China's JA Solar, the UAE's Global South Utilities, and Bahrain's Infinity Capital.
SIS stated that the battery factory will export products to global markets to fill the growing import gap, while the module factory will supply Egypt and the Middle East and Africa.
The project will gradually increase its local content ratio, prioritizing the procurement of materials such as aluminum and glass from Egypt.
The construction and trial operation period will take three years, and it is expected to create 841 direct jobs.
In November 2024, pv magazine reported that JA Solar planned to build a 2GW cell and module factory in Egypt with support from Global South Utilities.
In June 2025, Chinese PV company Sunray Solar also began construction of the first phase of a photovoltaic manufacturing complex in Egypt's Sokhna Industrial Zone, comprising two factories with 2GW of cell and 2GW of module production capacity, respectively.
