West Bakr Wind Farm Project
Gold Standard · GS7739 · Egypt
About this project
: The project, developed by Lekela Egypt Wind Power BOO (S.A.E.), aims to generate clean electricity through renewable wind energy for sale to the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC). It involves the installation of 96 Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) of 2.625 MW each, totaling 252 MW, located in Ras Ghareb, Red Sea Governorate, Egypt. Power generation is achieved via wind, a clean technology with no fossil fuel consumption or greenhouse gas emissions during operation. The project was commissioned on 13/11/2021 and is estimated to reduce anthropogenic GHG emissions by 531,674 tCO₂e annually, displacing approximately 1,197,600 MWh of primarily thermal/fossil fuel based electricity
