Envision to supply giga-scale wind farm in Egypt

Chinese wind turbine maker has been fostering closer ties with Saudi developer ACWA and its home government.

China’s Envision is in line to supply turbines for what will be one of Africa’s largest wind farms, after Saudi developer ACWA Power tapped it for the 1.1GW project in Egypt.

ACWA Power is co-developing the project in the Gulf of Suez region with a consortium made up of French investor and asset manager Meridiam, Egypt’s Hassan Allam Utilities and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
