On 21 December 2023, the Commission approved with the decision SA. 3 billion French scheme to support non-fossil technologies to ensure electricity supply matches demand.
Aids for the energy renovation of buildings in France include several schemes such as MaPrimeRénov', the zero-rate eco-loan and the Energy Savings Certificates (CEE). MaPrimeRénov' offers financial support to individuals to carry out energy renovation work, thus improving the efficiency of homes.
On this basis, the Commission concluded that the French scheme is in line with EU State aid rules, as it will facilitate the development of renewable electricity production from various technologies in France and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in line with the European Green Deal and without unduly distorting competition.
January 11, 2024: The European Commission said on January 8 it had given the go-ahead to state aid plans worth a total of nearly €4 billion ($4.4 billion) for batteries, raw materials and renewables projects in France and Germany.
Aids and subsidies in France are essential to accelerate the ecological transition by reducing CO2 emissions. Schemes such as MaPrimeRénov', the ecological bonus and European programs help individuals, businesses and communities to adopt sustainable practices.
The Commission assessed the measure under EU State aid rules, in particular the 2014 Guidelines on State aid for environmental protection and energy. The Commission found that the aid is necessary to further develop the renewable energy generation to meet France's environmental goals.
In France, subsidies are available for the purchase of clean vehicles, such as the conversion premium and the ecological bonus. The conversion bonus encourages the replacement of old vehicles with more ecological models, with financial assistance according to the eligibility criteria.
Egypt and renewable energy company AMEA Power plan to deploy two stand-alone battery-based energy storage plants to support the integration of renewable energy and improve grid stability in the country.
The first project involves a 1 GW solar plant with a 600 MWh BESS in the Benban area. The second project is a 300 MWh BESS at the site of Amea Power's 500 MW Abydos solar array, which is currently under construction. Both projects are in Egypt's Aswan governorate.
In a separate announcement, Norway's Scatec said it had signed a 25-year PPA with Egyptian Electricity Transmission Co. (EETC) for a 1 GW solar and 100 MW/200 MWh battery storage hybrid project in Egypt. “This will be the first hybrid solar and battery project in Egypt,” said Scatec CEO Terje Pilskog.
The latest announcements bring Amea Power's total renewables capacity in Egypt to 2 GW of solar and 900 MWh of BESS. The company claims to have projects in 20 countries, with a pipeline above 6 GW and 1.6 GW currently in operation and under or near construction.
Amea Power, based in Dubai, is developing two large-scale renewable projects in Egypt after securing two PPAs with Egyptian Electricity Transmission Co. The first project involves a 1 GW solar plant with a 600 MWh BESS in the Benban area.
Earlier this year, state-owned utility Egyptian Electricity Holding Co. held an expressions-of-interest tender for the design, construction and operation of a 8.2 MW solar plant and 2 MW/4MWh battery energy storage system, which would be built at the site of an existing microgrid in western Egypt.
Amea Power said the Benban site will be the largest solar-plus-BESS project in Africa, while the Abydos project will represent the first ever utility-scale BESS solution in Egypt. The company is investing $800 million across both projects, which are expected to provide energy to more than 769,000 homes.
