On November 1 local time, the main structure of the O&M building at the Horus 525MWh Standalone BESS Project in Egypt was successfully topped out. The project is being delivered on an EPC basis by a joint team from Energy China International, Zhejiang Thermal Power, and Southwest Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. of China Power Engineering Consulting Group. This milestone completes all above-ground structures on site and paves the way for the on-schedule installation and commissioning of the full station systems.
Located in the Zafarana, Suez Governorate, the Horus Project has a rated capacity of 250MW/525MWh and is a flagship energy storage demonstration project developed under the Sustainable Development Strategy for Egypt’s Vision 2030. The main structure of the O&M building stands 5.85 meters high, with a north-south span of 45.1 meters and an east-west axis span of 16.49 meters. The topping-out pour placed 185 m³ of concrete for the roof beams and slabs.
Once put into operation, the project will serve as a key grid-regulation and new-type storage regulation hub in Egypt, strengthening grid flexibility and supporting the country’s green and low-carbon transition.
