- Egypt opened Africa’s largest wind farm, raising Gulf of Suez capacity to 912.5 MW.
- Pro-investor policies have driven Egypt’s 340% renewable energy growth since 2015.
- Despite vast wind potential, most African nations lag due to weak regulatory support.
Egypt officially inaugurated what is being called Africa’s largest wind farm, the Gulf of Suez Wind Farm II (650 MW), with its commercial launch on Monday, June 30. This cements the nation’s status as the continent’s leading hub for onshore wind power. Developed by Eurus Energy, Toyota Tsusho, Engie, and Orascom Construction, the project’s massive turbines bring the combined capacity of Gulf of Suez I and II to 912.5 MW.
