The German company Siemens is set to begin commercial operation of 12 production units in Borollos, Beni Suef, and the New Administrative Capital power plants next week to output 4,800 MW. Upper Egypt Electricity Holding Company formed a technical committee that will run the Siemens plants. Ibrahim Al-Shahat, head of the Upper Egypt Electricity Production Company, said that five production units in Beni Suef power plants have entered commercial operation and will link the output to the national grid. EEHC signed contracts with Siemens last year to implement three combined-cycle power plants with a total capacity of 14,400 MW. The three power plants are located in Borollos, Beni Suef, and the New Administrative Capital.
