This project aims to mitigate the problems of electricity in underprivileged rural Egyptian villages by promoting solutions utilizing renewable energy
Project Challenges:
The project is performed in rural villages where the public infrastructure hardly exist in these provinces. Furthermore, the scarce of weather stations in these areas to measure the wind speed which is the main design aspect upon which the wind turbine specs are determined
Outcomes:
The nominated villages, Sayedna-Al-Khedr and Sayedna-Moussa Villages have been entirely supplied with green electricity generated by the tailored standalone wind turbine proving that renewable energy could provide the solution to the basic life necessities of electricity to the underprivileged rural Egyptian villages
