The UAE’s first utility scale Wind Programme generates over 100 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy. EWEC signed a landmark Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) that will see EWEC procuring power from three wind power farms located at Sila, Sir Bani Yas Island and Delma Island, with a combined generation capacity up to 99 MW of renewable, carbon-free electricity, enough to power 22,000 homes, displacing 115,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. The wind farms also include 14 MW of solar photovoltaic power.
The wind turbines stand at 95 metres high with a 155-metre wingspan, able to generate power at lower wind speeds.
EWEC’s historic deployment of utility-scale renewable energy encompasses multiple sources of strategic green energy, accelerating the UAE’s realisation of its economic and sustainability objectives.
