ACWA Power signs MoU to develop 10 GW wind energy project in Egypt

ACWA Power signed, on July 17, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Egypt's New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) to allocate land for a 10 gigawatts (GW) wind project in Egypt.

The MoU allocates approximately 3,000 square kilometers of land west of Sohag, an urban center, for the project, ACWA Power said in a statement.

The wind project is expected to generate around 50,000 gigawatt-hours of clean energy annually, providing electricity to around 11 million households and mitigating the impact of 2.4 million tonnes of carbon emissions yearly.
