Sustainability

We believe that meeting our customers’ energy needs can go hand in hand with meeting the needs of our communities and our planet.

At Elsewedy Electric, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. For over 80 years, we have been committed to harmonizing our customers’ energy needs with the well-being of our communities and the planet. Our goal is to create shared value while minimizing any potential negative impacts of our operations.

 

Across our group, every subsidiary plays a role in enhancing efficiency and reducing carbon footprints. With a workforce of 19,000 employees, we foster a culture of sustainability, emphasizing respect for the planet and its finite resources.

 

Our Renewable Energy division exemplifies this commitment by delivering wind and solar energy solutions across sub-Saharan Africa, the MENA region, and Eastern Europe. As passionate advocates for renewable energy, we are driving the transition to cleaner, greener power.

 

Through an integrated business model, we focus on comprehensive, long-term solutions that deliver meaningful impact. Guided by transparency, ethical governance, and a steadfast dedication to improving lives, we empower employees, nurture young talent, and uplift local communities. Together, we are shaping a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come.

Empowering people to do more while using less

The Beni Suef combined-cycle power plant (4800 MW) marked the beginning of a new era of power generation, providing low-cost electricity to over 15 million people in Upper Egypt.

The waste heat from the gas turbines is used to produce steam to drive the steam turbine, increasing output and efficiency. During the construction we partnered with the local municipality to build four roads connecting villages to the main road. Upon completion, we planted 120 trees and removed all garbage, industrial waste and oxygen-depleting plants along the Nile River nearby, leaving the local environment in a better state than we found it.
