Cairo - Mubasher: Hitachi Energy will connect the 250 megawatt Gulf of Suez 1 wind farm in Egypt, owned by the New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA), to the national power grid.

Hitachi will provide a grid integration solution to Vestas, a supplier of wind turbines1, to collect all the power produced by the 70 Vestas wind turbines and feed it into the high-voltage power grid for transmission across Egypt, according to a recent press release.

To generate around 1,000 gigawatt-hours of clean energy, Gulf of Suez 1 is in line with the Egyptian government’s plan to produce 20% of its installed capacity from renewable sources by 2022 and 42% by 2035.

The wind farm will produce enough renewable energy to power around 300,000 Egyptian homes.

The Managing Director of Hitachi Energy’s Grid Integration business, Niklas Persson, said: "Our grid integration and power quality solutions and expertise ensure variable energy sources like wind power are transferred smoothly and reliably into national power transmission systems, advancing a sustainable energy future for all."
