Renergy Group, the consortium leading Egypt’s first waste-to-energy (WTE) project, has officially awarded China Energy Engineering International Group the engineering, procurement, and construction contract.
The landmark project in Abu Rawash, Giza, will be Egypt’s first operational WTE plant. The plant represents a significant milestone in Egypt’s transition towards sustainable energy and waste management with an installed capacity of 30 megawatts (MW) and the ability to treat 1,200 tonnes of waste per day.
As the project owner, Renergy Group brings together a powerful partnership of the National Organisation for Military Production (NOMP), Green Tech Egypt, and Bahrain-based OAK Holdings. As the project developer and owner, Renergy Group will oversee the plant’s implementation under a design-build-own-operate model with an estimated investment of $130 million.
The plant will operate for 25 years, after which ownership will be transferred to the Giza Governorate. Notably, around 40% of the contracts will be awarded to Egyptian companies, ensuring strong local participation alongside the international expertise.
This pioneering project marks a new era for Egypt’s green energy sector, positioning Renergy Group as a key driver of sustainable infrastructure and innovative waste solutions in the region.
