      abstract = {This study explores the influence of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on the success of mega projects in the context of Egypt's renewable energy sector. Using Benban Solar Park?one of the largest solar installations worldwide?as a case study, the paper investigates how alignment with three specific SDG dimensions (Quality Education, Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) impacts project sustainability and stakeholder satisfaction. The research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing structured surveys and secondary data, with results analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings reveal a strong positive correlation between SDG alignment and key project success indicators, emphasizing the strategic value of integrating sustainability goals into large-scale infrastructure development. The paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers and project planners to institutionalize SDG frameworks in national development agendas.},
