Siemens Gamesa wants windier land for its 500 MW Ras Ghareb wind farm

Siemens Gamesa is negotiating with the New and Renewable Energy Authority to acquire a new piece of land for its 500 MW Ras Ghareb wind farm after wind levels on its current plot only generated 180 MW of power, unnamed sources told the local press. The new contract, if approved, will be signed on the usufruct scheme. The Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company was set to sign a power purchase agreement with Siemens for two wind farms generating 180 MW and 320 MW in October 2019.
