PowerChina Expands Renewable Energy Footprint in Egypt

The company’s portfolio includes the operational 500MW Amunet Gulf of Suez Wind Project alongside two major developments: the 1.1GW Gulf of Suez Wind Project and the 202.5MW Ras Ghareb Wind Project. Navigating environmental hurdles—including temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius and persistent sand erosion—the firm secured the 2025 RoSPA Health and Safety Award by optimizing concrete pouring schedules and turbine installation protocols.

Beyond wind farms, the firm is pivoting toward industrial localization. In August 2026, construction commenced on a 50,000-square-meter manufacturing facility in Ain Sokhna. This site serves as the first dedicated battery energy storage system manufacturing base for partner Sungrow in the Middle East and Africa, designed to cultivate local technical expertise.

Since 2012, the company’s operations have generated over 2,000 direct jobs and 10,000 indirect roles. Collaborative efforts with local entities, such as Elalamya General Contracting, have institutionalized knowledge transfers in quality control and logistics. By integrating engineering, supply chain, and storage infrastructure, the firm is positioning itself as a core architect of Egypt’s long-term national energy strategy.
