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.

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?
