GE LM6000 gas turbine at the Sharm El Sheikh Power Plant

Under the patronage of Prime Minister HE Dr. Mostafa Kamal Madbouly, a groundbreaking project has been initiated to support the decarbonization of Egypt's power sector. The project entails a strategic cooperation agreement (SCA) between the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC), GE Power, Hassan Allam Construction (HAC), and Power Generation Engineering and Services Company (PGESCo). Its primary objective is to operate a GE LM6000 gas turbine at the Sharm el-Sheikh Power Plant, utilizing a hydrogen-natural gas fuel blend.

By harnessing the power of hydrogen, the initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions and pave the way for a greener power sector. With the combined expertise and collaboration of the involved parties, this endeavor holds immense potential in driving the decarbonization efforts in Egypt and setting a positive example for the region.
