Infinity Power has broken ground on the 200MW Ras Ghareb Wind Project in Egypt’s Gulf of Suez region, according to the company.
Infinity Power said construction follows the signing of an engineering, procurement and construction contract with POWERCHINA Huadong Engineering Corporation Limited at the China-Africa Economic, Trade & Cultural Forum.
The developer said the wind farm is a flagship project under Egypt’s renewable energy programme within the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development-led Energy Pillar of the Nexus Water-Food-Energy initiative.
Infinity Power said the project will supply clean electricity to more than 300,000 homes and save over 400,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.
The company said the step also advances its target to operate 10GW of renewable energy across Africa by 2030, supplying approximately 12 million homes.
Mohamed Ismail Mansour, co-founder and chairman of Infinity Power, said: “We continue to make strong progress towards our 2030 capacity target, and this project marks another important milestone in that journey. It shows that large-scale renewable projects in Africa are becoming a reality on the ground, demonstrating the continent’s ability to deliver projects of real value on time and to the highest standards. We already know the Ras Ghareb region well, and this new site will make a strong contribution to Egypt’s energy needs at a competitive price while we continue to honour our commitments to the local community.”
Nayer Fouad, co-founder and CEO of Infinity Power, said: “At Infinity Power, we’re driven to deliver transformative renewable infrastructure, and Ras Ghareb is a defining example. With HDEC as our partner, we’re combining technical excellence with long-term vision to deliver real impact for Egypt through this project. I look forward to the next stage at Ras Ghareb as we move into construction and ultimately the operation of this important project.”
Mr. Liu Jiajin, vice president of POWERCHINA Huadong Engineering Corporation Limited, said: “This 200MW wind farm embodies POWERCHINA Huadong’s mission to ‘Engineer Green Progress’ through sustainable infrastructure. By combining HDEC’s expertise with local partnerships, we deliver clean energy solutions that power communities while protecting our planet – turning Egypt’s renewable vision into reality.”
