China's Trinasolar unit delivers 300MWh BESS in Egypt ahead of schedule
Trina Storage, a subsidiary of China-based solar photovoltaics manufacturer Trinasolar, has delivered a 300MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Egypt ahead of its scheduled commercial operation date. The BESS facility, owned by Dubai-headquartered AMEA Power, is an extension of the company's operational 500 megawatt (MW) solar PV plant in Aswan governorate, Egypt, which was commissioned in December 2024. The 300MWh BESS is Egypt's first utility-scale solar and storage integrated facility, designed to enhance grid stability and support the country's clean energy transition. Trina Storage supplied its advanced Elementa 2 platform, covering the full scope from in-house LFP battery cells and DC compartments to the AC side, enabling connection to the national grid. 'Faced with the extremely high temperatures and complex power grid environment in the Middle East and North Africa, we completed the 300MWh energy storage project from equipment installation to grid connection and delivery in just 60 days,' said Vincent Wu, Global Sales Vice President and MEA MU Head at Trinasolar. AMEA Power was awarded the BESS project in September 2024. (Writing by P Deol; Editing by Anoop Menon) (

Code Cracked: EGX's listed banks distressed-like valuations explained
Egyptian banks unanimously trade at Trailing Twelve Months (TTM) earnings multiples below 5x despite boasting solid return on average equity above 35% over the cycle and above 45% in 2024. At present, three out of eleven listed banks are members of the benchmark EGX30 index and their combined free float-adjusted MCAP weights in the EGX30 index is almost 30.0%. In descending order in terms of index weights, the three banks are 1) Commercial International Bank (CIB) at 26.4%, 2) Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank–Egypt (ADIB) at 1.8%, and 3) Credit Agricole–Egypt (CA-Egypt) at 1.5%. Why do low earnings multiples of Egyptian banks seem like a conundrum? First, it is not due to an indiscriminate macro risk – if that were the case, all sectors would have been trading at distressed valuation multiples. Yet, when we depict the TTM earnings multiples of the 50 most-actively traded companies, it is obvious that all commercial banks trade at the lower end of the spectrum in what seems as a 'sector-discount'. Second, if banks generate ROAE in excess of 35-45% and the long-term cost of equity (COE) is close to 20.0%, then banks should be trading at forward earnings multiples above 5x by virtue of the intrinsic earnings multiples model. Yet, Egyptian banks trade at trailing and forward earnings multiples way below the 5x, which is the multiple of a no-growth company in Egypt. So why are are the valuations of Egyptian banks penalised?

Strategic Alliances Propelling Egypt's Gold Sector Growth Ahead of African Mining Week (AMW) 2025
Egypt is advancing partnerships with global investors to expand its estimated 7.3 million tons of gold reserves and production capacity. These partnerships fall under the country's Vision 2030 strategy to increase the mining sector's contribution to GDP from the current 1% to 5%. Amidst a target to increase gold production to 800,000 ounces by 2030, the upcoming African Mining Week (AMW) – Africa's premier gathering for mining stakeholders – will connect global stakeholders with burgeoning prospects within Egypt's gold sector. Sukari Mine Expansion In April 2025, the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority signed an agreement with mining firm AngloGold Ashanti to expand gold production at the Sukari Mine. The mine produced 40,000 ounces in 2024, generating $61 million in revenue. The deal also allows further exploration of gold ore and associated minerals in the Eastern Desert and marks a strategic shift after AngloGold acquired the mine from Centamin in 2024. Shalateen Gold&Silver Industrial Complex Another major development advancing the growth of Egypt's gold industry is the construction of the Shalateen Gold&Silver Industrial Complex. Developed by the Shalateen Mineral Resources' Company – a joint venture of the Egyptian government and international investors - the £700 million open-pit mine comprises two phases. The first phase is set to launch in 2025 and the second phase by May 2026. The project targets to exploit 15 million tons of gold reserves and will feature integrated processing facilities and 168 supporting industrial operations. Gold Exploration Partnerships Meanwhile, Egypt is expanding its exploration initiatives through a series of strategic partnerships. In July this year UK-based Nubia Mines Company announced it would soon publish plans for gold production following promising exploration outcomes in the Um Rus Block and Aswan Concession areas. Egypt also signed a cooperation agreement with Centamin to fast-track exploration of new sites using modern environmental and technical standards in the same month. The agreement also paves the way for cooperation on upskilling of local talent. With Canadian firm Aton Resources, Egypt is advancing its gold development efforts in the Abu Marawat concession while continuing exploration to uncover further reserves. Amidst these developments and growth in Egypt's gold industry, AMW will connect Egyptian mining policymakers and stakeholders with global investors for partnership formations and deal signings.
