Wind Energy Potential in Egypt

With a currently installed capacity
of about 145 MW – corresponding to less than 1%
of the electricity consumption – wind power is still
in its infancy in Egypt. But the goals for the future
have been set higher: 850 MW in 2010 (3%) and 2750
MW in 2020 (6%).
In order to effectively meet these goals, Egypt
is not only committed to refine and strengthen the
legal and regulatory framework governing wind power
in Egypt, but also to provide the necessary reliable
background information on the geographical variation
and magnitude of the Egyptian wind resource.
