Egypt: XD-EGEMAC has successfully completed expansion works at the Beni Suef 3 transformer station (Benban 3), a vital component of Upper Egypt’s power infrastructure. The company announced the energisation of the 500 kV Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) on 5 July 2025, signalling a major achievement in the development of the national grid.
Implemented in partnership with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC), the project was carried out under the guidance of Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy Mahmoud Esmat.
