has agreed a common strategy with Egypt to build renewable energy projects in the country, the company said on Thursday.

* The project is part of Eni's push into green energy, with the aim of bringing 420 megawatts of mostly solar power generation online by 2022.
* Eni, the owner of the massive Zohr gas field expected to start production next year, currently produces about 210,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in Egypt.
