The Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (APICORP) has recently announced that it has established a strategic partnership agreement with the state-owned Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC). The agreement aims to expand APICORP`s investment portfolio in the energy sector in Egypt, one of the fastest-growing markets in the region.
Under the agreement, APICORP will work with EEHC to identify investment opportunities in various areas of the energy sector, including electricity generation, transmission and distribution, renewable energy, and natural gas. APICORP will also provide financial and technical support to EEHC`s ongoing projects and initiatives, which are expected to contribute to the development of the country`s infrastructure and economic growth.
APICORP`s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ahmed Ali Attiga, highlighted the significance of the partnership, stating that “Egypt is a key market for APICORP`s investment strategy, and we are committed to supporting the country`s development goals.
