Sineng Electric to Supply Central Inverter Solutions to Egypt’s 1.65 GW Benban Solar Park, One of the World’s Largest Solar Power Plants

Sineng Electric, a global leader in renewable energy solutions, has signed an agreement with Hassan Allam to supply 249 MW of central inverters to the Benban Solar Park, a landmark solar project with a total installed capacity of 1.65 GW. As one of the world’s largest solar power plants, the project isa key part of Egypt’s Nubian Suns Feed-in Tariff program,setting a benchmark for utility-scale solar deployment across Africa.

The solar farm, located in Benban, Egypt, is situated in a region characterized by some of the country’s strongest solar irradiation levels and vast land resources suitable for large-scale photovoltaic installation.Once fully operational, it is expected to generate approximately 3.8 TWh of electricity annually, contributing to Egypt’s long-term energy diversification objectives.

Under the agreement, Sineng Electric will provide27 units of 8.8 MW MV turnkey stations and 2 units of 4.4 MW MV turnkey stations, the fully integrated system that combines central inverter, power transformer, and medium-voltage switchgear within a compact design. Engineered to support a DC/AC ratio of up to 1.8, the solution maximizes energy yield while optimizing the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE).

The solution incorporates two-phase heat exchange, an intelligent temperature control system, and no derating at ambient temperatures of up to 52°C, ensuring stable and reliable operation under extreme temperatures and continuous full-load conditions. With an IP65 protection rating, the central inverter demonstrates strong resistance to dust and sand, directly addressing the environmental challenges posed by arid desert regions.

The Benban Solar Park marks another significant milestone for Sineng Electric in the Africanmarket, reinforcing the company’s track record in delivering reliableenergy solutions for large and complex solar installations. Steven Chen, General Manager of Sineng Electric MEA, said: “By working closely with partners such as Hassan Allam, Sineng Electric continues to contribute to scaling up adoption of renewable energy, supporting Egypt’s national energy transition roadmap, and advancing the development of a secure, diversified, and future-ready power system.”
