Egypt: Orascom- ENGIE-TTC-Eurus consortium begins full commercial operation of 650-MW Ras Ghareb wind farm
The final 150 MW phase was completed and commissioned in June 2025, following the early delivery of 306 MW in December 2024 and 194 MW in April 2025.
The entire capacity is now connected to the national grid, making the Ras Ghareb project the largest operational wind farm in the Middle East and Africa.
It is expected to power more than one million homes and reduce carbon emissions by approximately 1.5 million tons annually.
The project was developed on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis over a 25-year period by the Red Sea Wind Energy S.A.E. consortium.
ENGIE holds a 35% stake, Orascom Construction 25%, and Toyota Tsusho Corporation and Eurus Energy Holdings Corporation 20% each.
Beyond its investment role, Orascom Construction executed all civil, electrical, and EPC works for the plant without any loss of life during construction.
The new facility adds to the consortium's earlier 262.5 MW wind project completed in 2019, bringing its total operational wind capacity in Egypt to 912.5 MW.
The group has also begun evaluating a new 900 MW wind farm on adjacent land.

US imposes new sanctions against Iran oil trade and Lebanon's Hezbollah
The US has imposed new sanctions against a network that smuggles Iranian oil falsely presented as Iraqi oil and on a Hezbollah-controlled financial institution, the Treasury Department said. A network of companies run by Iraqi-British national Salim Ahmed Said has been buying and shipping billions of dollars worth of Iranian oil disguised as, or blended with, Iraqi oil since at least 2020, the department said. 'Treasury will continue to target Tehran 's revenue sources and intensify economic pressure to disrupt the regime's access to the financial resources that fuel its destabilising activities,' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. The US has imposed layers of sanctions on Iran's oil exports over its nuclear programme and funding of militias across the Middle East. 'As President Trump has made clear, Iran's behaviour has left it decimated. While it has had every opportunity to choose peace, its leaders have chosen extremism,' added Mr Bessent. The Treasury Department also issued sanctions against seven senior officials and one entity linked to Al Qard Al Hassan (AQAH), a Hezbollah-controlled financial institution. The armed Hezbollah group is Iran's proxy in Lebanon. 'These officials, through their management roles, have facilitated Hezbollah's evasion of sanctions, enabling AQAH to conduct millions of dollars in transactions through 'shadow' accounts,' said State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce. This comes as the Trump administration intensifies efforts to pressure Tehran into returning to nuclear negotiations and to clamp down on its proxies across the region. The US carried out strikes on June 22 on three Iranian nuclear sites including its most deeply buried enrichment plant, Fordow. The Pentagon said on Wednesday the strikes had degraded Iran's nuclear programme by up to two years, despite a far more cautious initial assessment that had leaked to the public. The US and Iran were expected to hold talks about its nuclear programme next week in Oslo, Axios reported. Said's companies and vessels blend Iranian oil with Iraqi oil, which is then sold to western buyers through Iraq or the Gulf as purely Iraqi oil using forged documentation to avoid sanctions, Treasury said. Said controls Gulf-based company VS Tankers, although he avoids formal association with it, the Treasury said. Formerly known as Al Iraqia Shipping Services & Oil Trading (Aissot), VS Tankers has smuggled oil for the benefit of the Iranian government and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is designated by Washington as a terrorist organisation, it said. The sanctions block US assets of those designated and prevent Americans from doing business with them. Hezbollah trying to rebuild its operations The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has been severely weakened following a year-long war with Israel that ended in November. The US Treasury said the new sanctions underscore a commitment to disrupting the group's sanctions evasion schemes and supporting efforts by the new Lebanese government to limit Hezbollah's influence. 'Through their roles at AQAH, these officials sought to obfuscate Hezbollah's interest in seemingly legitimate transactions at Lebanese financial institutions, exposing these banks to significant AML/CFT [money laundering and terrorism financing] risk while allowing Hezbollah to funnel money for its own benefit,' said Deputy Secretary Michael Faulkender. 'As Hezbollah seeks money to rebuild its operations, Treasury remains strongly committed to dismantling the group's financial infrastructure and limiting its ability to reconstitute itself,' he added. Hezbollah has long been described as a 'state within a state' in Lebanon, maintaining its own military, security and social infrastructure that operates independently of government control. It also runs a parallel financial system, receiving funding from Iran and various independent sources, while managing its finances outside official state institutions. Ms Bruce said that Washington remains committed to supporting Lebanon by disrupting schemes that empower Hezbollah's destabilising influence. 'We will continue to employ all available tools to ensure that this terrorist group no longer poses a threat to the Lebanese people and the region,' she said.

Branded residences: Why Dubai dominates region's market
Image credit: Betterhomes/Supplied Branded residences, luxury homes developed in collaboration with internationally recognised brands, are reshaping the global real estate landscape. Nowhere is this trend more evident than in Dubai, which has emerged as the regional and global capital of branded living. The emirate has seen an impressive 160 per cent growth in this sector over the past decade, outpacing global competitors. Read- According to a new New face of luxury living Branded residences offer more than a home, they deliver lifestyle. Originally linked to luxury hospitality groups such as Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton, the market has evolved to include a broad spectrum of global brands. Automotive titans like Mercedes-Benz and Bugatti, fashion houses like Armani and Missoni, and hospitality icons like Cipriani now lend their prestige to real estate projects. This shift signals a growing appetite for lifestyle-centric living, where buyers not only seek comfort and exclusivity, but also brand identity and curated experiences. Developers and investors alike see value in this alignment of lifestyle and real estate. Why Dubai leads: Strategic advantages of the city Dubai's rise as a global hub for branded residences is no accident. A combination of forward-thinking government policies, investor-friendly regulations, and strategic development planning has positioned the city as a magnet for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). Benefits include 100 per cent foreign ownership, zero income tax, and Golden Visas, all of which bolster Dubai's appeal. 'High-net-worth buyers are no longer just looking for property. They're investing in lifestyle, brand value, and long-term growth. Dubai offers all three, and that's why it's outperforming legacy markets like London and Miami,' said Christopher Cina, director of sales at (Branded projects hotspots.-Source: Betterhomes Research) In 2024 alone, Dubai recorded the sale of 13,000 branded residences, a 43 per cent increase year-on-year, generating Dhs60bn in transactions. This accounts for 8.5 per cent of total real estate transaction value, reflecting the segment's growing market share. Buyers are willing to pay 40 per cent to 60 per cent premiums for branded properties compared to similar non-branded units, driven by the promise of luxury, quality, and long-term value. Brand collaborations fuel market growth Strategic collaborations are central to Dubai's branded real estate boom. Developers such as Binghatti (Bugatti Residences), Arada (Armani Beach Residences), and Select Group (Six Senses Residences) have formed partnerships with globally recognised luxury brands. Meanwhile, mega-developers like Emaar, Meraas, and Nakheel have designed entire districts centered around lifestyle brands, cementing Dubai's place at the forefront of the sector. These partnerships enhance marketability and offer developers and investors access to premium pricing, branding power, and buyer loyalty. (In Dirhams, Dubai buyers leading global markets with an average premium of 157 per cent for branded residences, followed by Europe at 265 per cent, Thailand at 270 per cent, and the USA at Nearly 500 per cent.- Source: Property Monitor, Knight Frank, Betterhomes Research) Outperforming global competitors When benchmarked against international cities like Miami, London, Phuket, and Madrid, Dubai offers a more balanced investment opportunity. While Aston Martin Residences in Miami fetch up to Dhs25,000 per square feet, Dubai's Bvlgari Residences sell for around Dhs10,500 per square feet, offering both value and prestige. Meanwhile, Bugatti Residences are commanding a 237 per cent premium, showing Dubai can rival or even surpass international luxury benchmarks. In contrast, cities like London impose high property taxes and complex regulations, while markets such as Spain and Thailand, although exclusive, lack the liquidity and long-term investor confidence that Dubai provides. (Projected growth of branded residences worldwide. With 25 per cent market share by 2030, the number of projects in the region will reach over 360 developments.- Source: Betterhomes Research) The Future: MENA and beyond Branded residences are not just a Dubai story—they are expanding across the Middle East and North Africa. The sector is projected to account for 25 per cent of the MENA luxury residential market by 2030, with Dubai continuing to lead the charge. With a mix of innovative branding, policy support, and investor demand, Dubai's dominance in branded real estate shows no signs of slowing. For luxury buyers and developers alike, the emirate remains the global benchmark in this evolving sector.
