Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi on Tuesday inaugurated three giant power plants built by the German company Siemens.
The three plants are in the country's new administrative capital outside Cairo, and the two provinces of Kafr al-Sheik and Beni Suef.
They will provide a total capacity of 14,400 megawatts, or about 50 per cent of the country's electricity grid.
They were built at a cost of 7 billion dollars.
The president also inaugurated, via video conference, a massive wind power plant in Gabal al-Zeit on the Red Sea. It consists of three projects, including 390 wind turbines, with a capacity of 580 megawatts.
