Egypt’s wind farm in the Gulf of Suez, located approximately 20 kilometres off the coast of the Red Sea, was inaugurated. The wind farm can generate up to 262 megawatts of clean energy, supporting Egypt’s efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, the wind farm has been designed to protect migratory birds during their migration period through a shutdown-on-demand protocol. The wind farm in the Gulf of Suez serves as a significant example of tangible steps toward a fair transition to green energy. Germany’s support extends beyond this wind farm, including previous collaborations on the Zafarana Wind Farm (150 megawatts), the Gabal El Zayt Wind Farm (240 megawatts), the Zafarana Solar Photovoltaic Power Station (50 megawatts), and the rehabilitation and modernization of hydroelectric power stations in Egypt.
