Egypt: Benban, a model of clean energy production in Africa

In the land of gold, near Aswan, the jewel of the Nile, lies one of the largest solar parks in the world: Benban. This is no coincidence: located between latitudes 22 and 31.5 north, Egypt has among the highest solar energy potential of any country worldwide. The Benban park extends over an area of 37 square kilometres near the "desert road" between Aswan and Cairo.
