Renergy Group, the consortium leading Egypt’s first waste-to-energy (WTE) project, has awarded the engineering, procurement and construction contract to China Energy Engineering International Group.
Plant capacity and investment
The Abu Rawash plant in Giza is planned as Egypt’s first operational WTE facility. It will have an installed capacity of 30 megawatts (MW) and is designed to treat 1,200 tonnes of waste each day. The estimated investment is $130 million.
Ownership and delivery model
Renergy Group is the project developer and owner. The consortium brings together the National Organisation for Military Production (NOMP), Green Tech Egypt and Bahrain-based OAK Holdings. It will oversee implementation through a design-build-own-operate model.
The plant will operate for 25 years before ownership transfers to Giza Governorate. Approximately 40% of the contracts are planned for Egyptian companies, combining local participation with international expertise.
The project is presented as a milestone in Egypt’s transition towards sustainable energy and waste management and as part of Renergy Group’s contribution to sustainable infrastructure and waste solutions in the region.
