ACWA Power to Develop the Largest Wind Farm in Egypt
London, February 20, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––ACWA Power,a leader in energy transition, and first mover into green hydrogen, announced the signing of a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) for a landmark 2 GW wind project in Egypt.
Representing a significant investment of approximately USD 2.3 billion, the project will become the largest wind farm in Egypt, surpassing ACWA Power’s existing 1.1 GW Suez Wind Farm. It will also be the largest single-asset Independent Power Producer (IPP) in the country, further solidifying the Company’s position as the largest renewable energy developer in Egypt and Africa based on contracted projects, with a total investment of USD 8.8 billion and a gross capacity of 4.8 GW.
The 2 GW wind project, which is targeted for Financial Close in 2026, will play an important role in supporting the Egyptian government to increase renewable energy share in its electricity generation mix to 42% by 2030. Moreover, the project is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 3.5 million tonnes annually, contributing significantly to Egypt’s climate change mitigation efforts.
