The meeting focused on Egypt’s first municipal solid-waste facility designed to generate electricity. Located in Abu Rawash, Giza Governorate, the plant is being developed by Renergy Group Partners, an alliance of the Ministry of Military Production, Green Tech Egypt and OAK Holding. It is designed to convert 1200 tons of waste per day into 30 MW.
Minister Mohamed Salah said the project could benefit citizens and the national economy. He stressed the need for close monitoring and coordination between the ministry, other participating ministries and all project partners to keep implementation on schedule.
Mr Valk presented the current status of the Abu Rawash plant. He linked the project to Egypt’s wider expansion of clean and renewable energy and greater private-sector involvement in waste management, with the goals of a cleaner environment, stronger climate security and better living conditions. He also thanked the project stakeholders for their cooperation.
Mr Mohamed Eid Bakr, media adviser to the minister and the ministry’s official spokesperson, underlined the Ministry of Military Production’s commitment to national projects that support sustainable development by using the production capacity of its companies.
