Egypt-based TAQA Arabia, and Italian developer Voltalia signed an MoU with Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) and New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA). The agreement aims to explore a 3.2 GW hybrid wind-solar project in Suez Governorate. The project aims to repower the existing Zafarana wind farm with a mix of 2.1 GW solar and 1.1 GW wind capacity, making it Egypt’s first hybrid renewable energy initiative. The feasibility study, set to be completed by December 2025, will include assessments of wind speeds, solar irradiation, environmental impact, and geotechnical conditions.
