Siemens Gamesa has won a 262MW wind turbine deal in Egypt – its largest in the country to date – to equip the Gulf of Suez project being developed by a French-Japanese-Egyptian consortium.

The Spain-based OEM will deliver 125 of its G97-2.1 MW machines to the wind farm in Ras Ghareb. The company also secured a 15-year service agreement.

The wind project is being developed by a consortium of French energy multinational Engie, Japan’s Toyota Tsusho Corporation and Eurus Energy, and local engineering group Orascom.
