GameChange Solar Lands Fourth 258 MWp In Egypt's Benban Order, Capacity Tops 3 GWp
United States-based global supplier of solar tracker and fixed-tilt racking technology, GameChange Solar, has entered a contract to supply its Genius Tracker™ system for a 258 MWp solar project in Benban, Egypt.
GameChange Solar entered this latest contract with Hassan Allam Constructions, which is the EPC partner for Infinity Power’s project. This is GameChange Solar’s fourth project in Egypt, bringing our total capacity in the country to over 3 GWp. Other previous projects are to Abydos-II, following earlier deployments including Kom Ombo and Abydos-I projects, which together bring the company’s total tracker capacity in Egypt to around 3 GW.
Benban is one of the largest solar hubs in the region and demands systems that perform reliably in high-heat and high-dust conditions. GameChange Solar brings its regional support structure and would deploy the company’s 1R × 4 string tracker architecture, engineered for the site’s terrain and civil requirements.
About The Project
The Benban Solar Plant will integrate 200 MW of solar generation capacity with 120 MWh of battery energy storage, creating a hybrid renewable energy hub. The project supports Egypt’s national energy strategy, which aims to increase the share of renewables in the country to 42% by 2030 and 65% by 2040.
“Our systems are engineered for the high-heat and high-dust conditions common across the Middle East and North Africa, and our teams have steadily expanded their on-ground capability to support fast-moving utility-scale programmes,” said Anirudha Sharma, Vice President – Business Development (India, MENA and CIS), GameChange Solar. “The MENA region is a strategic priority for GameChange Solar, and with this order, our cumulative capacity in the region rises to 6.7 GWp, reflecting the trust placed in our technology and our execution,” he added.
“Benban continues to be one of the most strategic solar developments in the region, and projects of this scale require disciplined planning, predictable timelines and strong coordination across all partners. Our focus is on ensuring seamless execution, and we value partners who match that pace with the right technical inputs.,” said Engg Hany Fayed, Managing Director, Hassan Allam Constructions.
