GE Vernova Inc., has received an order from an affiliate of Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC,) Middle Delta Electricity Production Company (MDEPC), to modernize power generation infrastructure and improve operating efficiency at MDEPC’s Banha and Nubaria power plants in Egypt. The order was booked in the first quarter of 2026.
Spanning an anticipated three-year period, the project aligns with Egypt’s ongoing efforts to modernize its power generation infrastructure, reinforce energy security, and drive greater efficiency in electricity generation.
The scope includes two Advanced Gas Path (AGP) upgrades for the two GE Vernova 9F gas turbines at the Banha power plant, along with multiyear services agreements for Banha and Nubaria with terms of 15 and 8 years, respectively.
Commenting on the projects, Eng. Mohamed El-Abd, Chairman of MDEPC, said, “This modernization highlights the potential benefits that Advanced Gas Path technology can bring to F-class gas turbine units in Egypt. The upgrades are expected to increase the output of the gas turbines and improve efficiency by approximately 2%. These improvements are expected to enable additional power generation with more efficient fuel use and may help reduce carbon emissions per megawatt hour.”
Expressing their views, Joseph Anis, President & CEO, Europe, Middle East & Africa, GE Vernova’s Gas Power business, said, “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. Upgrades such as Advanced Gas Path technology can help operators improve output, extend maintenance intervals, and enhance efficiency, while supporting more reliable power generation.”
