Ain Sokhna Solar Energy Complex

under construction

The General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) is developing a $200 million integrated industrial complex for the production of solar energy components in the Ain Sokhna industrial zone. The project, developed by Chinese firm Sunrev Solar in cooperation with TEDA Egypt, spans 200,000 square meters and will be implemented in two phases. The first phase includes the construction of two factories producing solar cells and solar modules with a capacity of 2 gigawatts each. The second phase focuses on localizing production of essential raw materials such as silicon ingots and wafers, creating an integrated value chain within Egypt's solar energy sector. The complex is scheduled to begin operations in the first half of 2026 and is expected to generate over 1,800 direct jobs and thousands of indirect employment opportunities.
