Key Figures & Findings: PowerChina a global leader in energy infrastructure development, known for executing large-scale renewable energy projects, including wind and solar initiatives, has signed an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contract to develop the 1,100 MW Suez Gulf Wind Power Project in Egypt. The project, located in the Gulf of Suez region, underscores Egypt’s ambition to become a renewable energy hub in the Middle East. This collaboration reflects a robust partnership between Egypt and China to enhance sustainable energy production.

Statistics & Insights: The Suez Gulf Wind Power Project, once operational, will generate over 4.5 TWh of renewable electricity annually, powering approximately one million homes. The project aligns with Egypt’s goal of producing 42% of its electricity from renewable sources.

Future Implications: Upon completion in 2028, the project could significantly bolster Egypt’s renewable energy while addressing regional energy deficits. Additionally, the success of this project may attract increased foreign investments in Egypt’s renewable energy infrastructure within the region.
