Zafarana is a 547 MW wind power station in As Suways, Egypt. Based on reported annual generation of 1,332 GWh, it can supply roughly 380,571 homes. It ranks #24 of 62 Egypt power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 3.8% of Egypt's electricity; the national grid averages 563 gCO₂/kWh (13.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 29.2°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 88% below the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 18/100 — this site sits in the bottom third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.
