On completion, the wind farm, located in Ras Ghareb area, is estimated to produce 810,000MWh per annum. Consequentially, it is predicted to cut 403,672 tonnes of CO2eq emissions per year, helping to support Egypt's sustainability ambitions.
Wind turbines use blades to collect the wind's kinetic energy. Wind flows over the blades creating lift (similar to the effect on airplane wings), which causes the blades to turn.
This translates to an average annual generation of approximately 5,000 to 10,000 MWh, enough to supply power to hundreds of homes annually. A practical reference can be found in a comparison of various wind farms across different regions.
The essential decommissioning guidelines for wind farms encompass critical safety protocols, thorough environmental assessments, proactive stakeholder engagement, and the strategic utilization of technology to guarantee a systematic and responsible dismantling process.
On average, there are about 50 wind turbines per farm, and one of these turbines can produce 6 million kWh per year, meaning that one wind farm could produce 300, 000 MW a year.
Wind turbines require sufficient wind strength to begin operation, defined by the "cut-in wind speed. " This is the minimum wind speed needed for the turbine blades to start turning. Even light breezes can initiate.
