This paper discusses the growth of wind power in Egypt, providing valuable information for those interested in developing wind projects.
The findings of this study not only show the enormous potential of wind energy in Egypt but also highlight the value of strategic investment and planning in untapped regions.
The Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy has signed nine MOUs worth $600 million for solar and wind projects in Egypt. According to the Wind and Solar Atlas, the East and

The majority of Egypt''s electricity supply is generated from thermal and hydropower stations. The four main hydroelectric generating stations currently operating in Egypt are the Aswan Low Dam, the Esna Dam, the Aswan High Dam, and the Naga Hamady Barrages. The Asyut Barrage hydropower plant is scheduled to be commissioned and added as a fifth station in 2016.
While fossil fuels still dominate, generating 88% of Egypt''s electricity in 2023, hydropower contributes 7%, and wind and solar account for 5%, a rise from 1% in 2015 but still below the global average of
The Global Wind Atlas is a free, web-based application developed to help policymakers, planners, and investors identify high-wind areas for wind power generation virtually anywhere in the world, and then
The wind farm in Egypt, built by Eurus Energy Holdings and others. The first project installed 125 turbines in a region of the Gulf of Suez known for its advantageous wind conditions,
Installed capacity is forecast to increase from 2024 to 2035, at which point wind power is expected to account for 17% of total installed generation capacity. Onshore wind power capacity rose
The findings of this study not only show the enormous potential of wind energy in Egypt but also highlight the value of strategic investment and planning in untapped regions.
The paper aims to determine whether wind power is an effective and promising option for electricity generation in Egypt and offers recommendations to policymakers to enhance its growth.
Egypt topped the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region in wind power generation capacity during 2024, with its production capacity rising from 755 megawatts in 2017 to 2,199
gypt relies on fossil fuels for power generation, but their stocks are diminishing. Also, electricity generation from fossil fuels is the main source of green.
