The wind farm can generate enough electricity to power 500,000 Egyptian households. It was built in support of the Egyptian Government’s target to supply 20% of electricity from renewable sources by 2022.
According to the Wind and Solar Atlas, the East and West Nile areas have the potential to produce around 32,500 MW of wind power and 54,800 MW of solar power. Egypt is also considering financing options to conduct feasibility studies for the following projects:
The first survey to assess the wind energy potential in Egypt used 20-year old data from 15 different locations to estimate the wind energy density at 25 m height and the mean wind power density . It estimated the magnitude of the wind energy density to be in the range 31–500 kWh/m 2 /year and the power density in the range of 30–467 W/m 2.
The only available literature consists of few studies on onshore wind. For example, the economic and the environmental impact of wind farms was assessed by Ref. using a Cost-Benefits Ratio. It concluded that Za'afarana along the Red Sea coast was the most suitable site in Egypt for onshore wind farms.
