PowerChina has signed an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract for the 1,100-megawatt (MW) Suez Gulf wind power project in Egypt. The agreement was signed with Suez Wind Energy, the project company. The project is being developed and operated by a consortium of Acwa Power and Hassan Allam Holding under an Independent Power Producer (IPP) model.

The wind power project will be located in the Suez Gulf and Gabal El Zeit province near Ras Gharib city. PowerChina will be responsible for the design, procurement, construction, commissioning, handover, and quality assurance of the project.

Once operational, the project is expected to generate over 4.3 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually. This will provide green energy for more than 1 million households in Egypt. The project is also estimated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 2.2 million tons each year. This contributes to Egypt’s voluntary emission reduction targets under the Paris Climate Agreement and its goal of achieving 42% clean energy by 2030.

The Suez Gulf wind power project is PowerChina’s largest overseas wind project, the largest wind project in Egypt, and the second-largest onshore wind power project on the African continent.

Other renewable energy projects in Egypt include the Benban Solar Park, with an installed capacity of 1,650 MW. It is one of the largest solar power installations in the world. Another wind power project in Egypt is the Gabal El Zeit Wind Farm, which has a capacity of 580 MW. Additionally, the Kom Ombo Solar Power Plant, under construction, is expected to add 200 MW of capacity to the country’s renewable energy portfolio.
