Egypt has signed renewable energy deals worth a combined $1.8-billion, state TV reported on Sunday.

Among the deals were contracts with Norwegian renewable energy developer Scatec and China's Sungrow.

Egypt hopes to have renewable energy reach 42% of its electricity generation mix by 2030, but officials say the goal will be at risk without more international support.

The first project will be the construction by Scatec of a solar energy plant to generate electricity and energy storage stations in Upper Egypt's Minya, an Egyptian cabinet statement said.

It would have a generation capacity of 1.7 GW supported by battery storage systems with total capacity of 4 GWh.

A second project will be a Sungrow factory to manufacture energy storage batteries at the Suez Canal Economic Zone. A share of the factory's output would be supplied to the first project, the cabinet said.

The deals also include power purchase agreements, with Scatec signing a deal for total capacity of 1.95 GW and 3.9 GWh of battery storage systems, the Norwegian company said in a statement.
