The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is exploring the possibility of providing up to $200 million in debt financing for a new wind farm project in Egypt. This project, led by Suez Wind Energy, aims to build and operate a 1.1 GW wind farm in the Gulf of Suez region. The wind farm is part of Egypt’s broader goal to expand its renewable energy capacity, helping the country achieve its target of 10 GW of renewable energy under the National Water, Food, and Energy program.

The Gulf of Suez is known for its strong wind resources, which will be used to generate clean, competitive energy for Egypt. This wind farm will reduce the country’s dependence on traditional energy sources and contribute to Egypt’s shift toward more sustainable energy. It is expected to cut CO2 emissions by around 2.2 million tonnes annually, a major step in meeting Egypt’s climate objectives.

The wind farm project is part of Egypt’s broader goal to reach 10 GW of renewable energy under the Nexus for Water, Food, and Energy (NWFE) initiative. Suez Wind Energy will lead the development of the project, backed by a consortium that includes ACWA Power and HAU Energy. ACWA Power is an experienced developer in power generation, while HAU Energy is a newer renewable energy platform. HAU Energy is partly owned by Meridiam, Hassan Allam Utilities, and the EBRD.

The financing structure offered by the EBRD includes favorable terms, such as a longer period and extended financing tenor, which are typically not available from commercial sources. This approach is crucial for the scale of the project. The EBRD’s involvement not only provides financial support but also brings experience in managing risks like regulatory, political, and project risks. This helps to reassure investors about the project’s long-term success.
