Egypt will soon launch its electrical interconnection project in co-ordination with Saudi Arabia, a major scheme that will increase grid capacity to 2,000 megawatts, said a report.
 
A global consultant will undertake studies to adjust the paths of the power lines, reported Arab News,  citing the Egyptian Minister of Electricity Mohammed Shaker.
 
Egypt and Saudi Arabia had signed a co-operation agreement in 2012 to establish the electrical interconnection project. The project will be the main axis in the Arab electrical linkage, which aims to create an infrastructure for electricity trade between Arab countries.
 
The tenders for the implementation of the project have been finalized but the winning company is yet to be announced, stated Shaker, while speaking on the sidelines of the first forum of heads of African investment agencies in Sharm El-Sheikh.
 
Transmission lines between the two countries will be established under the DC (direct current) system, the latest in Egypt and the Arab region, he added.
