President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and German chancellor Angela Merkel will instate today the first phase of the three Siemens power plants in Beni Suef, Borollos, and the New Administrative Capital to add 4,800 MW. The chairperson of the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC), Gaber Desouky, and the head of the Cairo Electricity Production Company, Mohamed Mokhtar, inspected the New Administrative Capital power plant on Wednesday before the official inauguration. He noted that Siemens plants will save $1.6bn worth of fuel per year. EEHC signed contracts with Siemens last year to implement three combined-cycle power plants with a total capacity of 14,400MW. The three power plants are Borollos, Beni Suef, and the New Administrative Capital.
