Alfanar Company closed last week the financing for the development, construction, ownership
and operation of a 50 MW solar PV plant which will be located in the proposed 1.8 GW Benban
solar complex in Egypt’s Aswan province and which will be supported by Egypt’s FiT programme.
This project will be the first in the row of Alfanar current pipeline of 800 MW investment projects
spread across Europe, East Africa and South Asia, in both solar and wind technologies.
With the launch of this landmark project, Alfanar group is setting pace to deliver newly won
renewable projects in Spain (720 MW wind project), India (50 MW wind project) & Kenya (40
MW solar PV project).
SOUTH AFRICA (CAPE TOWN)
To further expand its network reach and peering capabilities, Angola Cables has announced that
it expects to establish a point of presence (PoP) in Cape Town before the end of the year. After
almost a year of operations in South Africa, the company has seen exponential growth in its
customer base. Currently with a PoP in Teraco in Johannesburg, increasing demand has resulted
in Angola Cables’ decision to develop a PoP infrastructure for customers based, or with operations
in, Cape Town.
“This expansion will give us the ability to attend to local Internet and content demands, as well as
enhancing our peering activities in the region,” said Darwin Costa, Product Manager at Angola Cables.
