Egypt case study: an EIB loan to the North Giza II power plant
Briefing | 17 November 2015

The power plant uses Combined Cycle Gas Turbine technology and the project promoters claim it is energy efficient, eco-friendly and community inclusive. Both the local community and the findings from a field trip strongly dispute these claims.
