Wind Energy Projects in EgyptThe first wind energy demonstration wind farm was established in Ras Ghareb on the Red Sea coast, with 400 kW capacity. In addition, a 5.2 MW wind farm in Hurghada is operating successfully containing different designs and sizes of wind turbines (100-300KW). The wind farm is connected to the local electricity grid of the city and produces more than 15 million kWh/year...more>> (page 2)
The potential of 80 GW wind resource multiplied by 8760 hours per year, and taking 30%, which is the standard estimate equals 210,240 GWh. The estimated potential wind production would therefore cover 3-times the need of the Egypt energy usage per year. Energy Conversion:
