UAE, Egypt ink major wind energy deal on COP27 sidelines
SHARM EL SHEIKH — The United Arab Emirates and Egypt agreed Tuesday to develop one of the world's largest wind farms in a deal struck on the sidelines of the UN's COP27 climate summit in Sharm El Sheikh.
The 10 gigawatt (GW) onshore wind project in Egypt will produce 47,790GWh of clean energy annually once it is completed, the UAE's state news agency WAM said in a statement, without specifying an exact timeframe.
It will offset 23.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions — equivalent to around nine per cent of Egypt's current CO2 output, according to WAM.
