LONDON--The Global Wind Energy Council released data indicating an increase of 894 megawatts of wind power in the Middle East and Africa regions in 2019.. The quick development is expected to be spurred by installations in Morocco and Saudi Arabia, a 1.8 GW installation in Egypt and 3.3 GW worth of installations in South Africa.. In the MENA region, Egypt ranked first in wind energy capacity at 262 megawatts (MW), trailed by Morocco at 216 MW..
