Egypt Brings New Natural Gas and Wind Power Plants Online

摘要

New natural gas-fired power plants and wind farms are part of Egypt's strategy to increase the country's power generation by at least 50%. It began delivering on that plan in July as it brought three gas-powered plants online in addition to one of the world's largest wind facilities. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on July 24 said "Today is a day of hope" as he unveiled the 4,800-MW New Capital plant (Figure 1) near Cairo, in an area that will serve as the country's new administrative capital.
