After 3 years of construction, one of the largest solar complexes in the world has been completed! Benban – which is in Aswan, south-east Egypt – is 37 km2 and will generate 1.5 GW.

The plant will be able to power more than 1,000,000 homes. The EBRD is proud to be the largest financier having supported 16 of the 32 plots.

This project is supported by the Green Climate Fund, the European Union and The Southern and Eastern Mediterranean (SEMED) Multi-Donor Account (Australia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Taipei China and the United Kingdom).
