France’s EDF Power Solutions has acquired a 20 percent stake in Egypt’s Obelisk solar power project.

The Obelisk hybrid project, combining a 1.1 gigawatt (GW) solar plant and a 100MW/200MWh battery storage system, is located in the city of Nagaa Hammadi, near Luxor.

The value of the stake was not given.

Norwegian renewable energy producer Scatec will own a 60 percent stake in the project, while Norfund, a Norwegian investment fund for developing countries, will hold the remaining 20 percent, EDF said in a statement.

The commissioning of Obelisk’s first phase is planned for the first half of 2026, while the second phase will be ready in the second half of the same year.

The project will provide electricity to the Egyptian grid through a 25-year power purchase agreement and support the country’s ambition to reach 42GW of renewable energy by 2030.

EDF operates the Benban solar power plant and is the largest shareholder of KarmSolar, a solar utility company, the statement said.

In May Scatec said construction had started on the $590 million Obelisk solar project.

In December 2024, Obelisk was granted a golden licence, which fast tracks the project.

Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised

The post Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:26 While meme tokens like Pepe Coin and established networks such as Tron attract headlines, many investors are now searching for projects that combine innovation, revenue-sharing and real-world utility. BlockchainFX ($BFX), currently in presale at $0.024 ahead of an expected $0.05 launch, is quickly becoming one of the best cryptos to buy today. With $7m already secured and a unique model spanning multiple asset classes, it is positioning itself as a decentralised super app and a contender to surpass older altcoins. Early Presale Pricing Creates A Rare Entry Point BlockchainFX’s presale pricing structure has been designed to reward early participants. At $0.024, buyers secure a lower entry price than later rounds, locking in a cost basis more than 50% below the projected $0.05 launch price. As sales continue to climb beyond $7m, each new stage automatically increases the token price. This built-in mechanism creates a clear advantage for early investors and explains why the project is increasingly cited in “best presales to buy now” discussions across the crypto space. High-Yield Staking Model Shares Platform Revenue Beyond its presale appeal, BlockchainFX is creating a high-yield staking model that gives holders a direct share of platform revenue. Every time a trade occurs on its platform, 70% of trading fees flow back into the $BFX ecosystem: 50% of collected fees are automatically distributed to stakers in both BFX and USDT. 20% is allocated to daily buybacks of $BFX, adding demand and price support. Half of the bought-back tokens are permanently burned, steadily reducing supply. Rewards are based on the size of each member’s BFX holdings and capped at $25,000 USDT per day to ensure sustainability. This structure transforms token ownership from a speculative bet into an income-generating position, a rare feature among today’s altcoins. A Multi-Asset Platform…
