More wind power for Egypt: <\/strong>Egypt\u2019s New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) signed two separate land allocation agreements for two wind farms expected to produce a combined 8 GW of energy in West Sohag, a statement<\/a> said. The two projects will require a combined USD 9 bn in investments. The government signed MoUs for the two projects back during COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh (here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s behind the developments? <\/strong>The first agreement was signed with Norwegian renewables developer Scatec, which plans to invest USD 5.7 bn into developing a 5 GW wind farm, a second cabinet statement<\/a> said. The second agreement was signed with local construction giant Orascom Construction on behalf of its consortium with a subsidiary of France\u2019s Engie, Kahrabel<\/a>, and Japan\u2019s Eurus Energy<\/a>. The OC-led farm is expected to generate 3 GW of energy when fully operational.<\/p>\n

The impact: <\/strong>The wind farms will reduce some 17 mn tons of CO2 emission annually when fully operational and create 18k new direct and indirect jobs.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? <\/strong>The parties will now undertake site and technical studies for the projects in addition to assessing the environmental impact of building the wind farms, the statement said.<\/p>\n

IN OTHER EGYPT NEWS- Egypt to establish a fund to support nature-based<\/strong> projects? <\/strong>The Environment Ministry is currently working with the French Development Agency, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and a local unnamed bank to develop a fund to reduce the risks of private sector investments in nature-based solutions<\/a>, Environment Minister Yasmine Fouad told a visiting EU delegation, according to a statement<\/a> from the ministry.<\/p>\n

More EU-Egypt climate cooperation ahead? <\/strong>The two also discussed working on a joint-policy document on how the private sector could contribute to developing nature-based projects, the statement added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
