The Siwa is a key infrastructure asset in Egypt's power generation grid, located on the continent of Africa. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 10 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing solar energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2019, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Egypt, Siwa occupies the #23 position among all operational solar power plants. Its 10 MW capacity represents a 0.22% share of Egypt's total installed solar generating capacity, which currently stands at 4,524 MW. The largest operational solar installation in Egypt is the Benban Solar Park with an output of 1,650 MW, making the Siwa approximately 165.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0072% of Egypt's aggregate generation capacity of 138,304 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of solar power plants (modeled at 18% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 15,768 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Egypt consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 5,256 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Siwa contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping Egypt advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 29.1780° latitude and 25.5160° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Siwa Solar Power Station (solar, 10 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Egypt.
