TAQA, an international company focused on energy solutions, celebrated the opening of a new integrated operations facility in Egypt.

The facility, which spans over 12,000 sqm in the Kattameya Industrial Area, includes corporate offices,  a state-of-the-art workshop and a dedicated training center.

The centre, located in the Katameya region in Cairo, is considered a major hub for managing the company’s business in the country as well as a springboard for its activities in Africa.

“This facility reflects our commitment to create a long-lasting presence and strategic partnership in Egypt.. It is more than just a maintenance facility; it is a testimony to TAQA’s shareholders’ commitment to further invest in Egypt, demonstrating our ambition to be a major player in the promising future of the Egyptian energy sector,” Khalid Nouh, TAQA’s CEO said.

The CEO noted that  Egypt is a primary focus of the company’s efforts to advance carbon emission reduction and clean geothermal energy solutions.

Nouh also praised Egypt’s clear vision for diversifying energy sources, saying it mirrors TAQA’s values of being ‘progressive, boundless, and human.’

He also expressed his company’s pride in partnering with the Egyptian side and participating in pumping investments, providing job opportunities, and providing innovative technological solutions that contribute to achieving the goals of the energy industry in Egypt

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi, who explained that the way TAQA operates in Egypt aligns with the first pillar of the ministry’s six-pillar strategy, which focuses on increasing production and accelerating discoveries.

“We have to prioritize increasing production, focusing on exploration and accelerating discoveries to unlock the sector’s potential. TAQA is a true partner for us in this pillar, not only today but for the future,” Badawi said.

He pointed to TAQA’s collaboration in leveraging the infrastructure either for the oil and gas, mining sector or renewable resources, which comes in line with the ministry’s second and third pillars.

Additionally, the Minister emphasized  that the partnership with TAQA would unlock the potential of green energy, adding: “TAQA is a key enabler for Egypt to step into the future of green energy, whether we are talking about hydrogen, green hydrogen, green ammonia and beyond”

Badawi concluded his speech by underscoring the importance of ensuring safety for persons and the environment, sustainably delivering businesses, guaranteeing energy efficiency, and attracting investments as key pillars among MoPMR’s working strategy.

At the end of the event, TAQA’s CEO, Khalid Nouh, and Executive Vice President, Amir Nessim honored Karim Badawi, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, in recognition of his commitment to driving innovation and growth in the industry.
