A landscape of wind turbines in Nigeria converting wasted gas into sustainable power.
The African Development Bank has clinched the 2025 “Infrastructure Deal of the Year” award for spearheading financing for Africa’s largest wind power project—the 1.1 GW Suez Wind Farm in Egypt. Announced at the AfDB’s Annual Meetings in Abidjan, the award celebrates the Bank’s pivotal role in mobilizing $140 million toward the $1.04 billion venture. Developed by a powerhouse consortium, the project will deploy 138 advanced turbines and will deliver over 4,000 GWh of clean energy annually by 2027—enough to power one million homes. It will also slash 1.71 million tons of CO₂ emissions per year and create nearly 1,800 jobs.
