InterGen and Edison SpA announced that Sidi Krir 3&4, a 685-megawatt, natural gas-fired power facility, has achieved commercial operations and is dispatching into the Egyptian power grid. As Egypt's first build, own, operate and transfer (BOOT) project, Sidi Krir 3&4 is an important milestone for the Egyptian power industry and a sign of Egypt's growing commitment to the private sector. Located near Alexandria, the facility is one of the largest private power stations in the Middle East.
