The Amunet plant will generate 2,500GWh of clean electricity annually. Renewable energy provider AMEA Power has commissioned a 500MW wind power plant in Ras Ghareb, in Egypt’s Red Sea Governorate. The facility is the largest operational wind farm in Africa and a joint venture between AMEA Power (60%) and Sumitomo (40%). It is expected to generate 2,500 gigawatt hours (GWh) of clean electricity annually, sufficient to power 500,000 homes and reduce CO2 emissions by 1.4 million tonnes per year. The construction phase of the project created significant local economic benefits, employing 800 workers at its peak and highlighting AMEA Power’s dedication to job creation and inclusive growth. Completed 2.5 months ahead of schedule, the wind farm exemplifies the company’s ability to efficiently execute complex renewable energy projects. AMEA Power chairman Hussain Al Nowais stated: “The commissioning of the 500MW wind power plant in the Red Sea Governorate marks a significant milestone for AMEA Power and for Egypt. Bringing 1GW of clean energy online in such a short period is a tremendous achievement and a reflection of our deep commitment to delivering impactful renewable energy solutions. This is the future of power generation in Africa – clean, inclusive and transformational.” |
