Mazghouny & Co is pleased to have acted as local legal counsel to Empower New Energy on the successful commissioning of a 1.1 MWp on-site solar PV plant for L’Oréal Egypt at its manufacturing facility in 10th of Ramadan city. The project was delivered under Egypt’s net-metering regime through a Power Sales Agreement.
The facility is expected to generate ~1.6 GWh of clean electricity annually and eliminate ~800 tCO₂ emissions per year. It supports L’Oréal’s global “L’Oréal for the Future” programme, which targets 100% renewable energy across operated sites and a 57% CO₂ emissions reduction.
Mazghouny & Co team advised Empower New Energy on:
- Structuring the project company;
- Structuring and negotiating the Power Sales Agreement under the net-metering framework; and
- Providing general advisory on regulatory filings and compliance with EgyptERA rules.
The project benefited from Empower’s equity-led financing approach, which streamlines execution for commercial & industrial (C&I) projects by reducing typical debt-process requirements and enabling rapid deployment from planning to commissioning.
The structure is readily replicable across industrial areas in Egypt, which allows C&I self-generation and export of surplus to the grid within defined caps, and more recently P2P wheeling on the grid.
Mazghouny & Co combines energy-sector depth with financing and regulatory expertise across Egypt’s renewables landscape.
