Wind turbine installation of Amunet 500MW wind power project in Egypt
The Amunet 500MW wind project is located about 300km south-east of Cairo and 8km north of Ras Qarib with a total capacity of 500.5 MW. It covers the 500.5 MW wind farm area, including fan, Fan Foundation, lifting platform, collecting line, road, Wind Tower, 33/220kV booster station design, procurement, installation, commissioning and access road. It is planned to install 77 vision en 6.5-171/H94.5 m wind turbines, and 39 wind turbines are planned to be installed in this section.
The wind speed in the project site is always high, which brings great challenge to the hoisting work. In view of the characteristics of fast wind speed and heavy weight, the Chinese team carefully organized, scientific planning, safe construction. According to the conditions of road and crane position, the domestic large crawler crane is selected as the main crane, and the whole crane is directly driven in the transfer yard, so that the first crane is completed smoothly.
The launch of a 500MW wind farm in Egypt is not only a milestone in Egypt's energy transition, but also highlights China's technological prowess and international influence in the new energy sector. As the project progresses, We believe it will contribute more to the energy transition and green development in Egypt and globally.
SVEZ 1.1GW Wind Power Project
The SVEZ 1.1GW Wind Power Project is located approximately 300 kilometers southeast of Cairo, and about 8 kilometers north of Ras Gharib, Egypt, with a total installed capacity of 1.1GW. As one of Egypt’s key renewable energy projects, it aims to accelerate the country's green energy transition. The project will provide substantial amounts of clean and sustainable electricity, contributing significantly to Egypt's goal of increasing the share of renewable energy in its energy mix by 2035.
The project scope includes the design, procurement, installation, commissioning, and construction of essential infrastructure, such as wind turbines, turbine foundations, hoisting platforms, collection lines, internal roads, meteorological towers, and a 33/220kV booster substation. It also includes the development of access roads to ensure smooth project execution.
A total of 69 Vestas EN8.0-171/HH100m wind turbines are planned for installation in the project, with 34 turbines to be installed in this phase. These advanced wind turbines will efficiently harness local wind resources to generate clean power and meet growing electricity demands.
By implementing the SVEZ 1.1GW Wind Power Project, Egypt will significantly increase its wind power capacity, helping to optimize its energy structure. Additionally, the project will play a positive role in job creation, economic development, and energy security. Its successful completion will not only contribute to Egypt’s sustainable development but also lay a solid foundation for the future growth of the wind energy industry.
