Egypt’s 70-turbine wind farm receives 633 kilometers of cable from Ducab

One of the biggest industrial companies in the UAE, Ducab Group, is sending 633 km of medium voltage and earthing cable to a truly innovative 70-turbine wind farm in Egypt. This is supposed to strengthen the growing industrial alliances between the Emirates and Egypt.

Egypt’s New and Renewable Energy Authority will incorporate the Gulf of Suez venture as a pivotal part of its plan to get 42% of its electricity from renewable sources 12 years from now. This will save about 600,000 tonnes of CO2e annually.

The project is one of the largest utility-scale wind power stations built in Egypt. The 70 turbines that are being assembled in a vicinity of 57 sq km will add 250MW of renewable energy to the country’s electricity production.

In cooperation with Vestas

Ducab is collaborating on the venture with Vestas, which is an EPC contractor and the organization that is producing the 70 wind turbines.

Group CEO of Ducab, Mohammed Almutawa, said: “We are committed to supporting countries achieve their sustainability ambitions and our solutions are in high demand for solar and wind power projects around the world.”

“Ducab already supplies solutions to landmark renewable energy infrastructure in 55 countries, but we are proud that demand for our expertise, experience, and quality solutions is experiencing significant growth as more and more countries, such as Egypt, decarbonize and transition to renewables.”

Additional Ventures

Ducab has offered solutions for a number of significant renewable energy projects in the Middle East, including the Gulf of Suez wind farm, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the Shams 1 project, and the Al Barakah nuclear reactor in the United Arab Emirates.

In addition to launching renewable energy projects in 55 countries, the company also announced a collaboration for a solar park in Mexico back in April.

Ducab is a proudly Emirati label that supports “Operation 300bn,” the United Arab Emirates plans to boost the manufacturing sector’s contribution to GDP from $36.23 billion in 2016 to $81.74 billion in 2031.
