Egypt's El-Dabaa Nuclear Project Reaches Milestone with Incoming Turbine Generator
Egypt's Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy has confirmed that the El-Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant will receive the turbine generator for its first reactor unit before the end of 2025 — marking a major milestone in the country's flagship energy project. Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy, Mahmoud Esmat, recently visited the facilities of Arabell Solutions and Framatome in Belfort, France, to inspect progress on the manufacturing of key components for the El-Dabaa reactors. The visit focused on reviewing the production status of power-generating turbines and evaluating the readiness of critical electrical systems, including generator assemblies and turbine parts. During the visit, the minister also examined the latest developments in the technical testing of the turbine generator for Unit 1. According to a statement issued by the ministry on Tuesday, Esmat was briefed by senior representatives from the two French companies regarding the readiness and performance of the plant's core electrical infrastructure. The ministry emphasized that the incoming turbine will be the largest of its kind ever installed in Egypt — and across the African continent — underscoring the scale and significance of the El-Dabaa project within the region's energy landscape.
