The consortium will provide six ultra-supercritical, near-zero polluting coal-fired power generating units with a total generating capacity of 6.6 GW for the Hamrawein power plant over 800 km from Cairo, Egypt's capital.
The construction of the plant, Africa’s largest, will take six years to complete.
