Chinese battery manufacturer Gotion High-Tech has started delivering what it describes as Africa’s largest AC-coupled energy storage project: Gotion Grid 5 MWh systems for the Nefertiti and Horus storage projects in Egypt. According to the company’s 30 September 2026 release, only three months passed between contract signing and the departure of the first shipment.
50 trucks from Jinzhai and Nantong
On 28 September 2026, 50 heavy-duty trucks carrying Gotion Grid 5 MWh systems left Gotion’s Jinzhai and Nantong facilities in China. The Nefertiti and Horus projects, developed by AMEA Power and built by China Energy Engineering Group, are Egypt’s first large-scale standalone storage facilities.
Full DC-to-AC integration
Gotion says the systems are supplied with full DC-to-AC integration, including in-house cells, battery management systems, DC systems, power conversion systems and transformers. They are designed for extreme heat, sandstorms and salt fog – conditions typical of the project sites.
A step into the Middle East and North Africa
Hussain Al Nowais, Chairman of AMEA Power, said the shipment opens a new stage of broader cooperation and that the company is proud of and satisfied with its partnership with Gotion. Li Chen, Senior Vice President of Gotion, called Egypt a key step for Gotion into the Middle East and North Africa, proving it can deliver end-to-end, operate locally and commit for the long term.
