Sungrow Expands Operations in Egypt with New 10 GWh Energy Storage Manufacturing Plant

Sungrow has announced the launch of a new energy storage manufacturing facility in Egypt’s Suez Canal Economic Zone, boasting a planned annual production capacity of 10 GWh with operations scheduled to begin in June 2027.

The facility’s initial production will be dedicated to supporting the Sustainable Energy Valley project located in Egypt’s Minya Governorate. This initiative is a collaborative effort jointly developed by the Egyptian government and Norwegian renewable energy company Scatec. As part of this partnership, Sungrow will supply 4 GWh of energy storage systems to help advance Egypt’s renewable energy infrastructure.

This initiative builds upon Sungrow's long-standing presence in Egypt. The company recently supported the commissioning of the Abydos Phase II solar-plus-storage project in Aswan Governorate, where it supplied 1.2 GW of PV capacity and 720 MWh of energy storage. Upon full operation, this development will stand as Africa’s largest single-site integrated solar-plus-storage project, further underscoring Sungrow's impact on the nation's clean energy transition.

“By establishing localized manufacturing capabilities, Sungrow is boosting delivery efficiency and enabling faster, more responsive support for renewable energy projects across the Middle East and Africa,” stated Thompson Meng, Vice President of Sungrow.

“We firmly believe that successful localization goes beyond a manufacturing facility. By working closely with local companies and stakeholders, further deepening local supply chain collaboration, we seek to accelerate Egypt’s clean energy transition. We will share our renewable energy expertise and technologies, nurture local talent, and help unlock Egypt’s full potential as Africa’s leading renewable energy hub,” Meng added.
