埃及在新首都举行的会议上签署能源协议

据路透社开罗报道，埃及表示，周六在其部分建成的新首都举行的会议上，已经签署了几项能源协议，其中包括一项4.3亿美元的交易，用于总部位于德克萨斯州的诺布尔能源通过东地中海天然气公司的管道输送天然气。

根据该协议，在美国国际开发金融公司的资助下，诺布尔集团还将与埃及Dolphinus控股公司合作生产石油产品。

在非洲投资论坛的最后一天，埃及内阁详细介绍了这一计划，此次论坛是在开罗东部沙漠地区新行政首都所在地举行的首批重大活动之一。

这座城市是埃及总统阿卜杜勒·法塔赫·塞西发起的一系列大型项目之一，将包括政府部门、商业区、外交区、居民区和一个大型公园。

埃及今年担任了非洲联盟主席，并一直努力推动自己成为非洲贸易和经济发展的关键。 它还在寻求将自己定位为能源枢纽和可再生能源领域的地区领导者。

内阁称，在周六宣布的其他协议中，总部位于阿姆斯特丹的Lekela公司表示将开始建设West Bakr风力发电厂，总投资达3.5亿美元，发电能力将达到250兆瓦。

根据内阁的声明，Lekela首席执行官 Chris Antonopoulos表示，西门子歌美飒将在苏伊士湾建设工厂，预计将创造550个工作岗位。

埃及还与欧洲复兴开发银行签署了一项价值2.01亿美元的协议，以改善埃及电力传输公司的电网，该银行还将为苏伊士石油加工公司提供价值5000万美元的沥青生产部门融资。
