Scatec completes 1.1 GW Obelisk solar and battery project in Egypt

SolarNews Brief

Scatec has completed full commercial operations at the 1.1 GW Obelisk hybrid solar and battery project in Egypt. The project is being described as Africa’s largest hybrid solar and storage development, making it a significant benchmark for utility-scale clean power on the continent.

The Obelisk project combines large-scale solar generation with battery storage, giving Egypt a more flexible renewable power asset than a standalone PV plant. Full commercial operation means the project can now contribute contracted electricity at scale rather than remaining a construction pipeline item. For African power markets, the milestone shows how solar-plus-storage is moving from pilot scale to nationally relevant infrastructure.
