The companies are planning to implement renewable energy projects in Egypt. In addition to that, they have expressed their willingness to acquiring part of the Zaafarana wind power plants that the government intends to offer to a strategic investor, the source said.

This came in the frame of Egypt’s willingness to raise $5B from its IPO program by mid-2024. The government declared that Egypt is also offering stakes in Zafarana wind farm with the Siemens Beni Suef power plant, Gabal El-Zeit wind power plant, and, in addition to Safi and Watanya, companies owned by the military.

In August 2023, Danish Maersk Group was in talks to potentially acquire half of Zafarana state-owned 545-MW wind farms.
