The last batch of wind turbine equipment departed from Jiangsu Taicang Port for Egypt’s Red Sea coast. Undertaken by PowerChina Hubei Engineering Company, the large-scale Suez Gulf wind power project has finished all equipment shipments. These huge wind power facilities will form a large green power generation matrix in North African deserts.

Oversized cargo shipping guarantee

The 1.1GW onshore wind power project is equipped with 138 sets of 8MW wind turbines, with blades of 89.6 meters and an impeller diameter of 182 meters. All equipment was delivered in 10 voyages. Port authorities launched exclusive channels and adopted intelligent devices to ensure safe shipment. In the first half of 2026, Taicang Port’s exports of new energy products exceeded 67 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 48%.

Green power energizes Egypt

As Egypt’s largest and Africa’s second-largest onshore wind project, it will generate over 4.3 billion kWh of electricity annually, powering one million local households and cutting carbon dioxide emissions by more than 2.2 million tons every year. It greatly boosts Egypt’s energy transition and sets a benchmark for clean energy development in Africa.

Whole industry chain export

The shipment marks China’s shift from single equipment export to full industrial chain delivery. The mature logistics model of Taicang Port can be replicated for future new energy exports. Egypt’s booming gigawatt-level new energy market offers broad development space for Chinese wind power enterprises.Editor/Min Jing
