African Development Bank (ADB) has allocated finances estimated at US$1.2 billion to enhance Egyptian energy sector, Khaled El-Askari -principal energy officer at ADB- told Amwal Al Ghad Thursday.

He stated that the bank is studying participating with US$100-200 million to finance establishing the power plant in Beheira governorate.

On Wednesday, the Egyptian Cabinet endorsed the draft of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's decree on the $600 million-loan provided by the European Investment Bank (EIB) to the electricity plant.
