More <\/strong>financing for Acwa-HAU mega wind farm:<\/strong> Renewables giant Acwa Power and Hassan Allam Utilities (HAU) secured up to USD 170 mn in financing from the African Development Bank (AfDB) to support their USD 1.1 bn, 1.1 GW wind farm<\/a> in Egypt\u2019s Gulf of Suez, according to a press release<\/a>. Additional financing is expected to come from a consortium of Development Finance Institutions and banks. <\/p>\n

We should hear an update soon on a <\/strong>USD 200 mn loan<\/a><\/strong> from the European Bank for <\/strong>Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) for the project<\/strong>, which has passed its final review and is only pending approval, according to a project summary<\/a> from the lender.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- <\/strong>The two companies are set to secure close to USD 900 mn in financing by the end of the year for their 1.1 GW wind farm in Gulf of Suez, a source with knowledge of the matter told EnterpriseAM Climate<\/a> in September. It's unknown whether the AfDB and EBRD loans were part of the count.<\/p>\n

About the plant: <\/strong>When operational by the end of 2026<\/a>, the project \u2014 developed by Acwa and Hassan Allam \u2014 is set to offset 2.2 mn tons of carbon dioxide annually and produce 4.1 TWh of power annually, enough power for nearly 1.1 mn households. The wind farm\u2019s 1.1 GW capacity will mark it as the largest wind project in both Africa and the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
