Recently, Goldwind supported Egypt's GOSII Wind Farm (Gulf of Suez II Wind Farm of Red Sea Wind Energy) in achieving a significant milestone: the expansion phase of the GOSII project was fully connected to the grid four months ahead of schedule. The expansion phase involved the installation of 20 Goldwind GWH182-7.5MW turbines, bringing the total installed capacity of the GOSII project to 650MW. This makes it the largest operational wind farm in Africa and the largest wind farm in Africa by single-unit capacity, setting a new benchmark for renewable energy development in Africa.

The GOSII project is Goldwind's first wind power project in Egypt. Since its launch in 2023, Goldwind and its industry chain partners have repeatedly set new industry records through efficient collaboration:

November 2023

First GW165-6.0MW turbine successfully installed

April 2024

Phase I 47 turbines installed 20 days ahead of schedule, earning high recognition from the client

September 2024

Phase I first turbine successfully connected to the grid

April 2025

Phase I full grid connection of 500MW achieved with 84 GW165-6.0MW turbines installed. Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly attended the ceremony. The project entered commercial operation six months ahead of schedule

May 2025

First turbine of the GOSII expansion phase connected to the grid

June 2025

Full grid connection of the GOSII expansion phase achieved

The GOSII expansion phase utilized Goldwind's GWH182-7.5MW turbines, the largest operational turbines in Africa. These turbines feature specialized optimizations in dust protection and cooling systems, enabling efficient and stable operation in the extreme conditions of the Gulf of Suez region, including high temperatures and sandstorms. Additionally, this turbine model has obtained an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certificate under the EPD Italy system, enhancing the project's sustainability and helping the client achieve ESG value through the wind power project.

During the grid-connection commissioning stage, the project team worked closely with the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company, carrying out multiple rounds of grid integration scheme optimization and testing. Test data confirmed that key indicators, such as active power regulation, reactive power compensation, and frequency response, all met design requirements, demonstrating the excellent grid-friendly performance of Goldwind turbines and providing support for strengthening the local grid.

It is estimated that once fully operational, the project will provide clean electricity to approximately 1 million Egyptian households annually and help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.5 million tons, contributing significantly to improving the local energy structure and achieving emission reduction goals. The successful implementation of this project strongly supports Egypt's efforts to meet the renewable energy targets set in its Integrated Sustainable Energy Strategy 2035.

To date, Goldwind has been deeply engaged in the African market for 15 years. By developing wind power projects, building localized industrial bases, and cultivating renewable energy talent, the company has worked closely with global partners to advance the growth of Africa's green industries. Goldwind will continue to deepen cooperation with African countries in the clean energy sector, providing efficient and reliable solutions to support the green transition in Africa and worldwide.
