Technical FAQs 4

Will Egypt add 150 MW to the Red Sea Wind Farm?

ENGIE has just received final approval from the Egyptian government to add 150 MW of capacity to the Red Sea Wind Energy (RSWE) wind farm currently under construction, which will be Africa’s largest onshore wind farm once commissioned. The challenge? To build the additional 150 MW within the original project deadline.

What is the wind energy potential in Egypt?

The first survey to assess the wind energy potential in Egypt used 20-year old data from 15 different locations to estimate the wind energy density at 25 m height and the mean wind power density . It estimated the magnitude of the wind energy density to be in the range 31–500 kWh/m 2 /year and the power density in the range of 30–467 W/m 2.

Is ENGIE building a wind farm in Egypt?

In Egypt, ENGIE is currently building Red Sea Wind Energy, the future largest onshore wind farm of Africa, within budget and ahead of schedule.

Can Egypt reach 42% of renewable electricity by 2030?

A challenge taken up by the teams. Onshore wind power represents a significant lever in the Egyptian government’s ambition of reaching 42% of renewable electricity in the country by 2030. In regions like the Gulf of Suez, wind speeds exceed 9 meters per second*, ideal conditions for the development of large-scale wind farms.
