โ€œThis project is a testament to Scatecโ€™s position as one of the leading renewables companies in Egypt.

I would like to thank all parties involved for making this happen with a particular acknowledgement to the skills and persistence of our Egyptian teamโ€ says Scatec CEO Terje Pilskog.

The project will be located in Ras Shukeir, which has some of the worldsโ€™ best wind resources for onshore wind power. The signing of the PPA will be followed by wind measurements on the site, to be finalised in the first half of 2026, before the project is further advanced towards financial close and construction.
