Published on : 2023-03-23

Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla has inaugurated a solar power station with a capacity of 36 megawatts at the Sukari mine, in addition to a batteries storage system with a capacity of 7.5 megawatts to supply the mine.

This project will help reduce expenditures and enhance production sustainability. The station enjoys the mine’s advantageous geographical position in the Eastern Desert, an area that has the highest level of solar radiation and exposure for about 10 hours per day.

The station also helps reduce fuel consumption in the mine by 22 million liters per year and reduces carbon emissions by 60,000 tons of CO2 equivalent.
