The 1.5 million fadan project is an initiative that is overseen by the president Abdelfattah El Sisi himself. The project’s aim is to develop one and a half million acres of land across Egypt for multiple investment purposes. First and foremost the project is set to help raise agricultural land by 20%. Due to the increase of agricultural land, the increase in demand for water and energy is inevitable. Solar power is a key factor in the project because solar power is a cheap and reliable alternative to other sources of energy. The aim of this project is to make these areas sustainable by 2030. The areas that are concerned with the first phase of this initiative are : AlFarafra , West of Komombo, AlMaghara, Al Amal Village, Toshka and its Wells, AlMarashed and West AlMenaya
