Siemens has delivered the first blades at the site of the 250 MW West Bakr wind project located in Ras Ghareb, Egypt.
Siemens will install 96 SG 2.6-114 turbines through a turnkey EPC contract and will provide long term maintenance services through a 15-year Long Term Services Agreement.
The project expected to be completed by the end of 2021. Once operational, the project will generate enough power to supply for about 350.000 homes and offset up to 550,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
The project is under a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC).
