POWERCHINA Expands 1.8GW Egypt Wind Portfolio, Adds Storage Plant
Beijing – September 08, 2026 -- Power Construction Corporation of China (POWERCHINA) is developing more than 1.8 GW of wind capacity in Egypt while breaking ground on a new energy storage manufacturing facility, deepening its role in the country's renewable energy buildout.
Wind portfolio exceeds 1.8 GW across three projects in the Gulf of Suez and Ras Ghareb
The company's operational and under-construction wind assets include the 500MW Amunet Gulf of Suez Wind Project, now fully online, alongside the 1.1GW Gulf of Suez Wind Project and the 202.5MW Ras Ghareb Wind Project, both currently under construction. During Amunet's build, POWERCHINA managed temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, strong winds and sand erosion by adjusting concrete-pouring schedules and monitoring wind speeds during turbine installation. The project secured its acceptance certificate ahead of contractual deadline and received the 2025 RoSPA Health and Safety Award.
