The project represents a landmark achievement as Djibouti’s first grid-connected Independent Power Producer (IPP) and marks a significant milestone in the country’s transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
With its 60 MW of installed wind capacity, the project contributes to diversifying Djibouti’s energy mix, reducing reliance on fossil-fuel-based generation and supporting the country’s ambition to achieve 100% renewable electricity by 2030.

The project is expected to avoid approximately 150,000 metric tons CO² emission/year.
The Red Sea Power involves the construction of a c.60MW Wind Farm in Ghoubet, Djiboujti, 120km from the city. The project also involves consutrction and operation of interconnection facilities compromising of a 220 MVA substation and 5km overhead transmission line to connect to the nearest Electricité De Djibouti ("EDD") substation.
