One of the largest hybrid renewable energy projects in the Middle East and Africa region has taken a major step toward intelligent, real-time operations, with technology firm TGS deploying its PowerView digital platform across the Obelisk solar and battery facility being developed by Scatec in Egypt.
The Obelisk facility, built in two phases, combines 1,125 megawatts-peak of solar photovoltaic capacity with a 100 MW and 200 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system — an integrated architecture that allows solar generation and energy storage to operate together as a unified system, supporting grid stability and more flexible energy delivery to Egypt’s national network.
Through the PowerView platform, TGS Prediktor provides a unified digital environment for monitoring and optimising both the solar plant and the battery storage system, bringing together plant equipment, operational data, and analytics in a single interface. The platform also connects the Obelisk site to Scatec’s Global Operations Centre, enabling remote oversight and performance analysis. “Hybrid renewable projects are becoming increasingly important as energy systems integrate more variable generation,” said Will Ashby, EVP Business Development at TGS. “With PowerView, we provide operators with the digital foundation to manage solar and storage assets as a single coordinated system, helping ensure reliable operations and optimized performance at scale.”
The Obelisk deployment builds on the existing collaboration between TGS Prediktor and Scatec on large-scale renewable energy assets across global markets and reflects Egypt’s rapid scaling of utility-grade renewable infrastructure as the country pursues an aggressive clean energy transition alongside its oil and gas ambitions.
