Envision Energy has secured a pivotal contract for a 1.1GW onshore wind farm in Egypt’s Gulf of Suez region. Developed by ACWA Power, a Saudi-based leader in energy transition, the project will become one of the largest wind farms in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), bolstering Egypt’s renewable energy capacity and supporting the region’s sustainable development goals.
A Major Step for Egypt’s Renewable Energy Future
This landmark project, managed by Suez Wind Energy—a joint venture between ACWA Power and HAU Energy—will utilize 138 state-of-the-art 8 MW wind turbines from Envision Energy. These turbines are specifically designed for high wind speeds and the challenging, sandy environments of Egypt. Along with long-term maintenance services, the turbines are expected to deliver reliable, high-performance energy production for 25 years.
Kane Xu, Senior Vice President of Envision Energy, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating that it represents a significant step forward in scaling renewable energy in the MENA region. The turbines’ adaptability, backed by Envision’s advanced Galileo system, will optimize energy capture, ensuring the wind farm meets Egypt’s growing energy needs while minimizing environmental impact.
The wind farm will not only strengthen Egypt’s renewable energy infrastructure but also attract further investment, drive innovation, and create job opportunities, marking a key milestone in MENA’s clean energy journey.
