Key Points
- Hassan Allam Utilities and Infinity Group partner with Egypt’s petroleum ministry to expand EV charging stations at high-traffic filling stations nationwide.
- The EV charging deal, signed at EGYPES, aligns with Egypt’s efforts to promote sustainable transportation and diversify its energy mix.
- The company’s EV push follows its $703.6 million financing for a 2.1GW Suez Wind Farm, the largest single-contracted wind project in the Middle East.
Hassan Allam Holding, a privately owned engineering and construction giant led by Egyptian businessman Hassan Allam, has partnered with Infinity Group, a leading renewable energy company, to work with the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources on a nationwide network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
The deal between Hassan Allam Holding’s investment and development arm, Hassan Allam Utilities, and Infinity—Egypt’s largest provider of EV charging solutions—aims to expand the country’s charging infrastructure. The plan includes installing both alternate current (AC) and direct current (DC) chargers at high-traffic filling stations, making EV adoption more accessible.
Egypt’s push for green mobility grows
Petroleum Minister Eng. Karim Badawi, along with executives from Hassan Allam Utilities and Infinity Group, signed the agreement during the EGYPES conference. This is a major step in the ministry's broader effort to promote sustainable mobility and diversify Egypt’s energy solutions.
“By joining forces with industry leaders, we’re not just expanding charging infrastructure—we’re shaping the future of sustainable transportation in Egypt,” said Infinity co-founder and CEO Nayer Fouad. He expressed confidence that the initiative would encourage more EV adoption and help position Egypt as a leader in electric mobility.
Hassan Allam Utilities CEO Dalia Wahba shared a similar outlook, emphasizing their commitment to investing in sustainable infrastructure that supports Egypt’s energy transition.
Hassan Allam powers Egypt’s renewable future
Hassan Allam Holding, led by Hassan Allam and his brother Amr Allam, has played a major role in shaping the region’s infrastructure, with a portfolio covering more than 12 million square meters of constructed buildings.
The push to build an EV charging network comes on the heels of another major development—the company’s recent $703.6 million financing deal in January for its 2.1GW Suez Wind Farm project, a major milestone in Egypt’s renewable energy shift.
The wind farm, a joint venture with Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power and Hassan Allam Utilities' subsidiary HAU Energy, will be the largest single-contracted wind farm in the Middle East. ACWA Power holds a 70 percent stake, while HAU Energy owns the remaining 30 percent.
Located in the Gulf of Suez and Gabal El-Zeit, the $1.2 billion facility will feature 138 turbines, each with an 8MW capacity and a height of 210 meters. The first phase will generate 550MW, contributing to Egypt’s target of having 42 percent of its energy come from renewables by 2040. The project is also expected to reduce carbon emissions by 1.1 million tonnes per year.
