According to the company, the power line will link the Abu Qir area in the north of Egypt to Badr City, about 50km east of Cairo on the Ismailia Road.
As reported, the country’s electricity ministry had inked the deal with several Egyptian companies to construct the power line. The line is expected to be completed within two years.
Aksam Abulela, a spokesman of the Ministry of Electricity and Energy, told Reuters that the consortium included a Spanish company, as well as Sewedy Cables and other Egyptian companies. The power line is to be 340km long.
El Sewedy also said that last week the company began production at its power cables plant in Ethiopia with an annual capacity of 10,000 tonnes of copper and aluminium.
