CAIRO: Egypt’s Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy said it will inaugurate one of the largest wind power farms in the world. The step, reported by the state-run Al-Ahram newspaper, is part of Egypt’s efforts to increase electricity production by using renewable sources. The farm, located in the Gabal El-Zeit area, in Egypt’s Red Sea governorate, will have an overall capacity of 580 megawatts (MW). The farm consists of three projects with a total of 300 wind turbines. The project was launched in 2015 and has cost 12 billion Egyptian pounds (approximately $625 million).
