Obelisk Solar Power SAE
Obelisk Solar Power SAE is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) wholly owned by Scatec ASA, a Norwegian renewable energy company. The company is developing a 1.1 GW alternating current (AC) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant integrated with a 200 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Nagaa Hammadi, Qena Governorate, Egypt. This project is the first of its kind in Egypt, combining large-scale solar generation with battery storage to enhance grid stability and support the country's renewable energy transition.

The project is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 1.3 million tonnes annually.
