JA Solar has signed a 1.25GW module procurement agreement with China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC).
The agreement – signed on the opening day of the 2025 World Future Energy Summit (WFES 2025) in Abu Dhabi — secures JA Solar as the exclusive supplier of n-type photovoltaic (PV) modules for the Abydos Phase II 1GW+600MWh PV-Storage Project in Africa. The project is developed by AMEA Power and constructed by CEEC.
Hussain Al Nowais, Chairman of AMEA Power; Mahabir Sharma, CTO of AMEA Power; Aqueel Bohra, CIO of AMEA Power; Shupeng Su, President of CEEC Egypt International; and Tony Zhu, President of the Photovoltaic and Energy Storage BG at JA Solar, attended the signigng.
The project, spanning approximately 20 square kilometers, will feature Africa’s largest PV installation alongside the continent’s largest battery storage system.
It is expected to generate approximately 3,000 GWh annually, supplying electricity to more than 500,000 households and offsetting more than 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year. The project will enhance Egypt’s renewable energy share and grid stability.
Meanwhile, the 500MW Abydos Solar PV Plant has completed through the collaboration of AMEA Power, CEEC, and JA Solar, with JA Solar supplying all PV modules for the project.
