About this project
This project is a renewable energy project using wind energy being developed inRas Ghareb, Red Sea Governorate (Egypt). This project is going to allow Egypt to reduce its dependence on fossil fuel sources for the generation of electricity, which is currently above 82%. Furthermore, this project is going to allow the development of this renewable technology which is key for the progress of the country. Despite having significant wind resource in Egypt, this technology only accounts for 2.4% of the current installed capacity of the electricity system. This project is also going to support the economic development of the country thanks to the foreign investment that will attract as well as the competitive electricity tariff that is going to supply to the network. In addition, project is also going to support the development of the local community in the area, since the project will be supporting a number of CSR activities and also will provide employment opportunities to the local population.
