Egypt will start a 140-megawatt combined-cycle power plant in February that will be the North African nation’s first facility to use solar energy, a spokesman at the Electricity and Energy Ministry said.

“As soon as we have confirmed that all parts are working properly in harmony, the plant will start operations,” Aktham Abou El-Ella said today by phone from Cairo.
