Egypt approves 150 MW wind power expansion project

The Egyptian Cabinet approved on Wednesday an offer from the consortium of Engie, Toyota, and Orascom to expand the existing 500-megawatt wind project in the Gulf of Suez by up to 150 megawatts to be completed by 2025.

This initiative is a crucial part of Egypt’s urgent efforts to enhance renewable energy capacity by the summer of 2025, aiming to meet the rising electricity demand and decrease dependence on fossil fuels.
