The West Minya Solar Project: What SWSOLAR Won

EPC Scope, Scale, and Strategic Partners

The West Minya Solar Project is being developed by Hassan Allam Utilities’ Energy Platform in partnership with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Meridiam, and Infinity Power Holding. The joint venture covers full engineering, procurement, and construction responsibilities across the entire 1,000 MWac facility.

Key project details at a glance:

Egypt targets generating 42% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, rising to 65% by 2040. The West Minya project directly supports that national energy transition roadmap.

SWSOLAR’s Growing International Order Pipeline


Sterling & Wilson Renewable Energy has delivered 258 solar EPC projects with a total capacity of 11.6 GWp across 24 countries, making it a leading global solar solutions provider. The Egypt win adds meaningfully to that international footprint.

Following that addition, Sterling & Wilson Renewable stated that its EPC order inflows for FY26 surpassed ₹10,062 crore. The Egypt contract represents a significant additional layer on top of that domestic momentum.
