Cairo: The Industrial Modernization Centre (IMC) has announced that the solar cell station at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) generates approximately 2.24 GWh of electricity annually. This output plays a significant role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 1,006 tons each year.

According to State Information Service Egypt, the IMC highlighted that these efforts are aligned with the state's initiatives to transition to clean energy, achieve sustainable development goals, and advance Egypt Vision 2030. The IMC managed and supervised the project execution of the GEM's solar cell station, with funding from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). This development positions the Grand Egyptian Museum as the first green museum in Africa and the Middle East to utilize solar energy.

The IMC emphasized that its involvement in the implementation of the solar cell station at GEM serves as a practical model for successful cooperation between national and international bodies in green transformation projects. This initiative underscores the center's role in promoting the green economy and renewable energy, contributing to tangible national success stories that are foundational for a sustainable future for Egypt.
