Wind farm in Egypt (Ras Ghareb) that reached 650 MW in June 2025, powers 1M+ homes, cuts 1.3M tons COâ‚‚ per year, built ahead of schedule.
Egypt wanted more clean energy and less pollution and blackouts. In Ras Ghareb, along the Red Sea, a big wind farm was built in parts. First, 306 MW started in December 2024, then more came online in April and finally the last 150 MW in June 2025.

This made the farm reach 650 MW, making it the largest wind farm in Africa and the Middle East. The project was done ahead of schedule. It uses many wind turbines that turn wind into electricity and ships that electricity into the local power network. This gives many homes reliable electricity, lowers air pollution, and helps Egypt move away from using gas or coal.

Big banks and companies helped pay for it. People worked safely during construction. Now locals have better power, and the country has less carbon pollution.
As at the time of publishing this article, we didn’t find a confirmed total project cost from all sources, but financing came from several big banks and institutions; given scale (650 MW + consortia + export-credit insurance), the project is worth roughly three hundred million USD. (Exact number not always published.)
Because it’s the largest wind farm in Africa and MENA by capacity right now, it draws attention: shows wind energy can be built big here.
Its early completion helps show construction speed and efficiency matters.
Completely synergize resource taxing.
