GE Vernova receives order for upgrades at Egypt power plants

GE Vernova said it has received an order from Middle Delta Electricity Production Company (MDEPC), an affiliate of Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC), for upgrades and services at MDEPC’s Bahna and Nubaria power plants in Egypt. 

The scope includes two Advanced Gas Path (AGP) upgrades for the two GE Vernova 9F gas turbines at the Bahna power plant, along with multiyear services agreements for Bahna and Nubaria with terms of 15 and 8 years, respectively. 

The projects are expected to support efforts to modernise power generation infrastructure and improve operating efficiency. The order was booked in the first quarter of 2026.

This project is expected to be executed over three years and aligns with Egypt’s broader efforts to modernize power generation infrastructure, support energy security, and improve efficiency in electricity generation, the company said.

“This modernisation highlights the potential benefits that Advanced Gas Path technology can bring to F-class gas turbine units in Egypt,” said Eng Mohamed El-Abd, Chairman of MDEPC. “The upgrades are expected to increase the output of each gas turbine while improving efficiency by approximately 2 percent. These improvements are expected to enable additional power generation with more efficient fuel use and may help reduce carbon emissions per megawatt hour.”

“Across many power systems, improving the efficiency, availability, and operational performance of the existing generation fleet can play an important role in supporting electricity demand and broader power system objectives,” said Joseph Anis, President & CEO, Europe, Middle East & Africa, GE Vernova’s Gas Power business. “Upgrades such as Advanced Gas Path technology can help operators improve output, extend maintenance intervals, and enhance efficiency, while supporting more reliable power generation. We are pleased to support MDEPC in its efforts to modernize these assets and help meet Egypt’s evolving power generation needs.” - TradeArabia News Service
