The project is in line with Edita’s sustainability strategy and is consistent with Egypt’s Vision 2030 sustainability agenda, including the government’s target of sourcing at least 42% of national electricity from renewable energy by 2035.
Through this project, Edita aims to reduce its carbon footprint by lowering conventional electricity consumption and increasing reliance on cleaner energy sources. The initiative reflects the Company’s broader commitment to fostering a greener operating environment and embedding more sustainable practices across its facilities and day-to-day operations.
Project execution was supported by a three-party technical collaboration. Advanced Engineering Consultants (ADVEC) served as the independent engineering consultant, validating all design specifications against international safety standards and ensuring alignment with Edita’s operational requirements. Integrated Renewable & Sustainable Communities (IRSC), a specialized renewable energy developer with expertise in EPC and IPP solutions across solar, hybrid, and micro-grid systems, worked closely with ADVEC and Edita’s internal Environmental Sustainability team to conduct comprehensive site-specific solar audits across the three buildings prior to installation.
The selection of the Sheikh Zayed headquarters followed a structured assessment of six of the Company’s facilities across Egypt. Each site was evaluated against a defined set of financial and environmental criteria, including energy consumption profiles, roof load capacity, grid connectivity, and projected return on investment. Sheikh Zayed was identified as the prioritized site based on this analysis, offering the most favourable combination of technical viability and long-term impact.
Commenting on the agreement, Eng. Hani Berzi, Group Chairman of Edita Food Industries, said: “Sustainability is a core pillar of Edita’s long-term strategy, and this project is a tangible expression of that commitment. It comes at a time when domestic energy security has become a key priority for both the public and private sectors, while also supporting the government’s efforts to reduce Egypt’s reliance on conventional fossil fuels and accelerate the adoption of renewable alternatives. As Egypt advances its Vision 2030 agenda, this initiative reflects Edita’s direct contribution to the country’s broader goals of energy conservation and transition toward cleaner, more sustainable sources.”
