1. Egypt: Zafarana Wind Farm (720MW)
The Zafarana Wind Farm is located in Egypt’s desert region, 120 kilometres south of Suez on the Red Sea. It is actually a complex of wind energy farms that has been extended and increased at least eight times.
The farm is situated in one of the windiest parts of Africa, where wind speeds can reach up to 9 m/s; the turbines are specially manufactured to cope with the extreme weather conditions in the desert.
The first phase of the wind farm was constructed around the early 2000s. It has 50 wind turbines each producing 600MW of electricity. An extension to the wind farm in 2007 added 142 new turbines and generated an additional 120MW of electricity.
