- 13. Introduction to Wind Energy Mohammad Tawfik #WikiCourses http://WikiCourses.WikiSpaces.com • In 2012, Egypt produced 1.64*10^11 kWh of electric energy (164 Terra Watt Hour)! • Which gives an average of 18.7 GW. • In the same year, Renewable resources (excluding High Dam) produced 1.5*10^9 kWh (mostly wind) (1.5 TWh)!!! • Which counts for 0.91% of total production According to World Bank

- 16. Introduction to Wind Energy Mohammad Tawfik #WikiCourses http://WikiCourses.WikiSpaces.com • For regular growth rates, Egypt needs an increase of production of 5 to 8% annually. • That translates into the range of 650 to 1000 MW of production annually … Which, in turn, translates to 2 to 3 GW of production capacity • For the wind energy of roughly 1.2M$ per MW, Egypt needs of about 2.4 to 3.6 B$ of investments in Wind Turbines!!! Requirements!
