NREA awards Ras Ghareb 250 MW wind plant tender to Vestas

The New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) has awarded the tender to build Lekela Egypt’s EUR 260 mn, 250 MW wind plant in Ras Ghareb to Danish firm Vestas, sources in the Electricity Ministry told Al Mal. The final contract is expected to be signed this month after the NREA agrees terms with the company. Vestas’ bid was the only offer on the table after both Siemens Gamesa and Germany’s Senvion retracted their bids in October.
