Channing Law advises on Solar IPPs in Egypt

The Benban project is one of the largest solar power installations in the world with up to 1.65GW capacity and 32 solar plants.

The Nubian Suns projects comprise 13 solar power plants located in the Benban Solar Park, near Aswan in Egypt. These plants provide 590 megawatt (MW) capacity to the park.

Nubian Suns play a central part in round 2 of the Egypt Feed-In Tariff solar power programme.

The projects are funded by a syndicate of lenders led by the International Finance Corporation (IFC).

ARC For Renewable Energy SAE is one of these plants with a 50MW capacity (“ARC“). Winnergy for Renewable Energy Projects S.A.E. is another of these plants with a 20MW capacity (“Winnergy“) and Arinna Solar Power S.A.E. is another of these plants with 20MW capacity (“Arinna“).

Chana Abrams of Channing Law International Limited is delighted to have advised ARC, Winnergy and Arinna during the construction phase of the project and the achievement of taking over under the EPC Contracts.
