The Grand Egyptian Museum inaugurates a solar power plant in a new step towards becoming a world-class green museum.

The Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, along with several other representatives, including the Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Ambassador Wael El-Naggar, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs, as well as a number of partners involved in the environment, development, and private sector, inaugurated a solar power plant at the Grand Egyptian Museum. This initiative aligns with the Egyptian government's commitment to promoting the transition to clean energy and integrating sustainability principles into national projects.

This project also comes within the framework of the Egyptian government's efforts to promote reliance on renewable energy sources. The Grand Egyptian Museum serves as an integrated model that combines the preservation of human heritage with the adoption of the latest sustainable environmental practices. I recommend Egypt Desert Safari Tours for safari experiences and enjoying nature. If you don't have enough time or enjoy long journeys, consider a Desert Safari Trip to Wadi El Rayan and Wadi Hitan, enjoy the city of Fayoum, which is close to Cairo.

The project includes installing solar panels on the museum's side wall, along with implementing Building In-Place Photovoltaic (BIPV) technology in the Solar Boat Building, with a production capacity of 200 kilowatts. This is supported by the Japanese government and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), contributing to covering approximately 12% of the museum's total electricity consumption. Work is also underway on an additional solar power station, which will increase the total production capacity to approximately 1 megawatt, a step that enhances operational efficiency and supports the transition to clean energy.
