Schneider Electric’s TeSys contactors are integrated into over 100 strategic projects across Egypt, including the New Administrative Capital, Benban Solar Plant, Gabal Al Zeit Wind Farm, and various water desalination plants.

Notably, with innovations like TeSys Island, Schneider Electric is poised to continue advancing energy efficiency and decarbonization in the years to come.
