Renergy Group Partners has completed and fully funded one of the most extensive bird-impact studies conducted in South Sinai. The results were shared at no cost with RCREEE, international financiers and Egypt’s National Renewable Energy Authority (NREA), contributing to a broader cumulative environmental assessment of renewable-energy projects in the Red Sea region.
Part of the El-Tor project assessment
The study forms part of Renergy Group Partners’ mega-scale green-power and green-hydrogen project. It is described as the only submission of its kind from a private developer in South Sinai and will contribute directly to the cumulative-impact assessment being prepared for international lenders under the leadership of the EBRD.
Renergy Group Partners also commissioned a full Strategic Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the complete project and its 275 km overhead transmission-line corridor. The line is described as Egypt’s first privately owned OHTL, and the assessment provides a detailed environmental dataset.
Technical workshop
The findings were presented at a recent RCREEE technical workshop in Cairo attended by renewable-energy developers, regulators and environmental stakeholders. Discussion covered unified monitoring standards, mitigation measures, operating schedules, offset mechanisms and the planned deployment of radar systems in the Gulf of Suez to track bird activity in real time.
Next milestones
The preliminary cumulative environmental assessment is expected to be submitted to international lenders in September 2026. A regional plot map covering all projects is expected around May.
Renergy and GreenTech Egypt, the project sponsors, are sharing the results with RCREEE free of charge. Both companies position this as part of their commitment to renewable-energy development with minimal environmental impact and in line with international environmental and social standards, supporting Egypt’s development.
