Electricity and Energy Minister Mohamed Shaker met on Tuesday with representatives of Siemens and its local partners (Orascom and Elsewedy). 

The meeting tackled the obstacles facing the projects which are currently being implemented by the company and ways of overcoming them. 

Last year, Siemens signed a deal, worth eight billion dollars, with the Egyptian government to establish three high-efficiency power plants at a capacity of 16.4 gigawatts.

The power plants will be located in Burullus on the north coast, the administrative capital eastern Egypt and Upper Egypt's Beni Suef governorate.
