Heliopolis University and Eco Energy Partner to Power Bahariya Oasis Farm
with 280 Kilowatts of Renewable Energy
Bahariya Oasis, Egypt

In a major step toward advancing Egypt’s transition to clean energy and sustainable agriculture,
Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development (HU), in collaboration with Eco Energy,
has successfully implemented a 280-kilowatt renewable energy system on a 570-acre farm in
the Bahariya Oasis region.

This initiative reflects HU’s ongoing commitment to integrating sustainability and innovation
across its education, research, and community development programs. The newly installed solar
power system will supply clean, reliable energy to the farm’s irrigation systems, housing
facilities, and agricultural operations—reducing dependence on fossil fuels and significantly
cutting carbon emissions.

The Bahariya Oasis project serves as a living laboratory for sustainable development, where
students, researchers, and community members collaborate to apply renewable energy solutions
in real-world agricultural contexts. The installation not only supports the Greening the Desert
initiative led by HU and SEKEM but also contributes to Egypt’s Vision 2030 goals for climate
resilience and sustainable resource management.
“This project demonstrates how academic innovation and private-sector collaboration can
accelerate the transition toward a regenerative and energy-secure future for Egypt,” said a
representative from Heliopolis University. “Through this partnership with Eco Energy, we’re
proving that renewable power can drive sustainable food systems and community empowerment
in one of Egypt’s most challenging environments.”
The renewable energy system is expected to offset over 400 tons of CO2 emissions annually,

supporting HU’s broader vision to operate entirely on renewable energy and inspire climate-
smart practices across Egypt’s agricultural sector.
