- ENGIE has announced early commercial operation of 500 MW at Red Sea Wind Energy Wind Farm in Egypt.
ENGIE, alongside its partners Orascom Construction PLC, Toyota Tsusho Corporation, and Eurus Energy Holdings, is proud to announce the official Commercial Operation Date (COD) for the first 500 MW of the Red Sea Wind Energy Wind Farm in Egypt.
This key milestone, achieved six months ahead of schedule, reflects the consortium’s strong performance in project execution. The wind farm, now operational, is the largest of its kind in Africa and will supply clean, reliable energy to over 1 million households.
With 6.5 million safe worked hours and zero lost-time incidents, this project sets a new standard in both execution and safety performance.
Once completed, the wind farm’s total capacity will increase to 650 MW, reinforcing ENGIE’s leadership in Egypt’s energy transition and helping the country meet its sustainability goals by avoiding 1.5 million tons of CO₂ emissions annually.
This expansion brings ENGIE’s total wind capacity in Egypt to 912.5 MW, moving closer to the 1 GW milestone and strengthening its position in the renewable energy sector across Africa and the Middle East.
