A joint venture between Hassan Allam Utilities Energy and Infinity Power has signed a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) for the development of the 1GW Ras Shokeir wind farm in Egypt.
The project will be located in the Red Sea Governorate, within the Gulf of Suez wind corridor, and will cover approximately 143 square kilometres. Once operational, the wind farm will supply electricity to Egypt’s national grid and is expected to generate enough power to meet the needs of more than 1.2 million Egyptian homes.
The Ras Shokeir project is also expected to help reduce carbon emissions, avoiding more than 1.36 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. The PPA was signed by EETC Chairperson Mona Rizk and Infinity Power Co-founder and CEO Nayer Fouad, representing the Infinity Power-Hassan Allam consortium.
The agreement marks an important step toward the development of the large-scale wind project as Egypt accelerates its renewable energy expansion. The country aims to increase the share of renewable energy to 42% of its electricity mix by 2030 and 65% by 2040.
Ras Shokeir is part of a broader pipeline of renewable energy projects being developed in Egypt. These include the 500MW Amunet 2 wind project, developed by UAE-headquartered Amea Power following the commissioning of the first Amunet wind project in June 2025.
Hassan Allam Utilities Energy and Infinity Power are also developing the $560 million West Minya solar project. The project will feature 1,000MWac of solar photovoltaic capacity combined with a 600MWh battery energy storage system.
In June, MEED reported that a joint venture between Hassan Allam Construction and India-based Sterling & Wilson Renewable Energy had secured the engineering, procurement and construction contract for the West Minya project.
The Ras Shokeir PPA strengthens Egypt’s renewable energy pipeline and supports the country’s long-term plans to expand wind and solar power while reducing dependence on conventional electricity generation.
