Egypt's Zafarana wind farm, a pioneering project established over 20 years ago in the Suez District, is undergoing a remarkable transformation under a new agreement between French company Voltalia, Taqa Arabia, and the Egyptian government. The repowering strategy involves converting the 545MW wind farm into a state-of-the-art 3GW hybrid facility that combines 2.1GW of solar power and 1.1GW of wind power, marking Egypt's debut in integrating both renewable sources. The initiative aligns with Egypt's strategy to shift towards sustainable energy solutions and reduce its dependency on conventional power generation. Voltalia and Taqa Arabia are commencing vital technical and environmental studies to lay the groundwork for the project, with plans for the first phase of commissioning in 2028. Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, expressed the company's commitment to supporting Egypt's renewable energy ambitions, leveraging its expertise in hybrid wind-and-solar projects globally. Pakinam Kafafi, CEO of TAQA Arabia, highlighted the significance of the partnership in driving transformative energy solutions in Egypt's promising renewables sector. This collaboration follows earlier agreements between the two firms to develop green hydrogen projects and renewables infrastructure in the country, indicative of their long-term commitment to Egypt's clean energy transition. The project represents a pivotal milestone in Egypt's renewable energy landscape, showcasing innovation and sustainability in the region.
