Prime Minister Sherif Ismail witnessed on Tuesday the inking of an agreement on establishing a wind power plant in Suez.

The finance and electricity ministers also attended the inking ceremony.

Several consortia were vying to carry out the project. A consortium of Toyota Tsusho, Orascom and Engie was selected to implement the 400-million-dollar project.

The 250-megawatt plant falls within the framework of the Electricity Ministry's plan to boost sustainable development output, Electricity Minister Mohamed Shaker said at a press conference.

Shaker added that an inking ceremony of the contract of the Dabaa nuclear power plant will be held before the end of 2017.

Shaker also voiced hope that a power linkage contract with Saudi Arabia will be signed in November or December
