Benban Solar Park

The 41 plants in the Benban solar park will be connected to the high voltage network through four new substations, which will be constructed on the site by the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC).

These substations will in turn connect to an existing 220 kV line, which passes near the Benban Site at a distance of approximately 12 km.
