On May 28, 2024, Egypt's Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy officially announced that a wind power plant with 252MW capacity has been successfully integrated into the national grid. The move marks a solid step forward in the use of renewable energy in Egypt.

Located on the shores of the Gulf of Suez, the wind farm is expected to produce a steady output of approximately 1.2 TWH of clean energy per year, a significant contribution that will significantly contribute to Egypt's ambitious goal of increasing the contribution of renewables to 42% of its energy mix by 2030, thus accelerating its green energy transition.

The grid-connected generation of Egypt's 252MW wind power station provides strong support for Egypt's energy structure transformation, helping Egypt to achieve the ambitious goal of increasing the contribution of renewable energy to 42% by 2030. This advance will not only help meet Egypt's growing energy needs and drive economic development, but also contribute to environmental protection, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy security. The grid-connected operation of the wind farm also demonstrates Egypt's progress in renewable energy technology, laying a solid foundation for future sustainable development in this field.Editor/Zhang Liyuan
