A rendering of the project.
On Dec 26, 2024, POWERCHINA signed an EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contract for the 1,100-Megawatt Suez Gulf Wind Power Project with Suez Wind Energy Co. This marks the successful launch of POWERCHINA's largest overseas onshore wind power project, the largest of its kind in Egypt, and the second-largest in Africa.
Located near Ras Ghareb and Ras Shokeir in Egypt's Red Sea Governorate, the project has a total installed capacity of 1,100 MW. POWERCHINA is responsible for the design, procurement, construction, commissioning, handover, and warranty services for the entire project.
The project is expected to generate over 4.3 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, providing clean, stable energy to over one million local households. It will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 2.2 million metric tons annually, contributing significantly to Egypt's Paris Agreement commitments and its goal of achieving a 42-percent share of clean energy by 2030.
This is POWERCHINA's second wind power project in Egypt executed under an EPC contract, further enhancing the company's brand recognition and consolidating its position as a leading EPC contractor in Egypt's wind power sector.
