JA Solar & China Energy Engineering Signed a 1.25GW Module Procurement Agreement

During the 2025 World Future Energy Summit (WFES 2025), the world's first large-scale photovoltaic exhibition in 2025, JA Solar and China Energy Engineering Corporation officially signed a 1.25GW module procurement agreement, aiming to provide all high-efficiency n-type photovoltaic modules for Africa's largest solar storage project, the "Abydos Phase II 1GW+600MWh" project.

AMEA Power Chairman of the Board Hussain Alnowais, AMEA Power CTO Mahabir Sharma and CIO Aqueel Bohra, Su Shupeng, President of China Energy Engineering International Group Egypt, Zhu Daocheng, President of JA Solar's Photovoltaic and Energy Storage BG and Regional Operations Center, and other project stakeholders attended the ceremony and witnessed the signing. Yang Sicheng, Deputy General Manager of the International Engineering Branch of China Energy Engineering Zhejiang Thermal Power Construction Co., Ltd., and JA Solar's Middle East Sales Director signed the contract on behalf of both parties.

The "Abydos Phase II 1GW+600MWh Solar Storage Project" was developed by AMEA Power and constructed by China Energy Engineering. All of the projects use JA Solar Technology's DeepBlue 4.0 Pro photovoltaic modules.

The project covers a total area of ??approximately 20 square kilometers. It will simultaneously build Africa's largest photovoltaic project and the largest battery energy storage system. After completion, it is expected to generate approximately 3,000GWh of electricity annually, which can meet the electricity needs of 500,000 households and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.56 million tons. It will further increase Egypt's renewable energy share and grid stability, and is a milestone in the development history of the photovoltaic energy storage industry in Egypt and even the entire Africa.

Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly has high expectations for the "Abydos Phase II 1GW+600MWh Solar Storage Project". He said: This project is an important part of Egypt's implementation of the Clean Energy Action Plan and promotion of environmental and economic sustainable development. He hopes that outstanding Chinese companies participating in this project will give full play to their own advantages, continue to increase investment and construction in Egypt, further improve the quality and efficiency of Egypt's power supply, and help Egypt accelerate the realization of its 2030 vision.

It is worth mentioning that the current largest grid-connected photovoltaic project in Africa, the "Kom Ombo Abydos Phase I 560MW Photovoltaic Project", was also jointly completed by JA Solar, China Energy Engineering and AMEA Power. JA Solar provided all photovoltaic modules for the Phase I project. The successful signing of the Phase II project supply agreement not only marks the recognition of the past cooperation results by all parties, but also carries the firm belief and beautiful vision of deepening cooperation in the future and jointly creating a new milestone in the development of renewable energy in Africa.
