The Minister for Military Production met WTEI consortium members

The Egyptian State Minister for Military Production met WTEI consortium members at the headquarters of the Ministry’s general office. The Minister, Engineer Mohamed Ahmed Morsi, invited our delegation to discuss the cooperation in the field of waste to energy. From the consortium side, “Green Tech Egypt” and “OAK Group Holdings” took participation in the meeting. Mr Robert Valk, the Chairman, presented the “Green Tech Egypt”. Mr Gareth Brown, the Group CEO, participated on behalf of “OAK Group Holdings”

As we reported previously, a year ago Waste to Energy International (WTEI) created the consortium for Egyptian projects. In this consortium, “Green Tech Egypt” plays the role of the local developer and project sponsor. “OAK Group Holdings” takes the responsibilities of financial developer and investor, and WTEI is the technical developer. Later, we completed the feasibility study for the first WTE plant in Egypt.

WTEI opens up a new space: hydropower projects development

From the date of its foundation, our company concentrates on alternative energy projects development. First of all, our project portfolio comprises waste-to-energy projects, with the addition of wind and solar power projects. Recently, Waste to Energy International made a big step ahead in alternative energy and commenced hydropower projects development.

Several months ago, we have signed an MoU to develop, construct and operate a 188 MW hydropower plant. We used a similar approach to the feasibility study as for the first WTE plant in Egypt. In the last months, WTEI worked in the close cooperation with the local developer. We have collected essential technical, commercial, legal and environmental project information. Basing on this information, we requested the technical proposal from a reputable Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) company. Our EPC partner is a strong Chinese group with a long list of achievements in hydropower. The group has the turnaround valued of tens of billion in USD.

After that, in June, along with 92 other companies, consortium submitted a 200-pages EOI to WMRA.

In short, these 92 companies have submitted their Expression of Interest (EOI) and the prequalification documents to the following services:

  1. Waste to Energy relying on:
    • Municipal Solid Waste (MSW);
    • Sludge Treatment for Waste Water Treatment Facilities;
    • Biogas of the Sanitary Landfilling.
  2. Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) of MSW focusing on:
    • Production of the Refused Derived Fuel (RDF);
    • Making of the Compost;
