France’s EDF takes 20% in Egypt’s Obelisk solar project
France’s EDF Power Solutions has acquired a 20 percent stake in Egypt’s Obelisk solar power project.
The Obelisk hybrid project, combining a 1.1 gigawatt (GW) solar plant and a 100MW/200MWh battery storage system, is located in the city of Nagaa Hammadi, near Luxor.
The value of the stake was not given.
Norwegian renewable energy producer Scatec will own a 60 percent stake in the project, while Norfund, a Norwegian investment fund for developing countries, will hold the remaining 20 percent, EDF said in a statement.
The commissioning of Obelisk’s first phase is planned for the first half of 2026, while the second phase will be ready in the second half of the same year.
The project will provide electricity to the Egyptian grid through a 25-year power purchase agreement and support the country’s ambition to reach 42GW of renewable energy by 2030.
EDF operates the Benban solar power plant and is the largest shareholder of KarmSolar, a solar utility company, the statement said.
In May Scatec said construction had started on the $590 million Obelisk solar project.
In December 2024, Obelisk was granted a golden licence, which fast tracks the project.

This Altcoin Could 1000x By 2026
The post This Altcoin Could 1000x By 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The SEC has approved a framework for the streamlined adoption of digital asset products in the United States on Wednesday, allowing exchanges to list and trade commodity-based trust shares without requiring a rule change to be filed first. This marks a significant milestone, opening the door for a surge in spot altcoin ETFs in the coming months. As a result, anticipation is building around institutional liquidity flows to the altcoin market – but which projects could perform the best? Many analysts are betting on Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) as a potential 1000x opportunity. It has not yet launched on exchanges, so it’s not immediately eligible for a spot ETF like some of the larger altcoins. That said, its use case positions it at the forefront of blockchain innovation, which signals huge potential for price gains as institutional capital rotates through the altcoin market. The project is developing the world’s first ZK-rollup-powered Bitcoin Layer 2 blockchain, addressing Bitcoin’s key issues of slow speeds and limited functionality while maintaining its renowned characteristics of security and immutability. SEC Approves Generic ETF Listing Standards The SEC has approved a proposed 19b-4 rule change from Cboe’s BZX exchange, Nasdaq, and NYSE Arca to standardize listing requirements for crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) and streamline the process for public trading. According to Bloomberg ETF expert James Seyffart, this move paves the way for a “wave of spot crypto ETP launches in the coming weeks and months.” WOW. The SEC has approved Generic Listing Standards for “Commodity Based Trust Shares” aka includes crypto ETPs. This is the crypto ETP framework we’ve been waiting for.
