Construction of one of the world’s biggest wind farms in Egypt will begin by March 2026, a company involved said, as grueling power cuts during a broiling summer highlight the North African nation’s energy needs.

The onshore megaproject that will cost more than $10 billion will begin generating electricity in 2032, according to Mohamed Ismail Mansour, chairman of Infinity Power, a joint venture between Infinity in Egypt and Abu Dhabi-owned renewables giant Masdar.
