Key Qualifications of Relevance
Eng. Ashour holds a B. Sc. degree in mechanical engineering from the Cairo University, Egypt. He was one of the
key person in preparing the Wind atlas for Gulf of Suez and the Wind Atlas for Egypt. He was the supervisor for
selecting the locations, installation and data collection of met. Masts all over Egypt. He has Extensive knowledge
of wind energy resources in Egypt and Arab/African Countries (Yemen, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and
Rwanda) including, site selection, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies; bid documents; tendering, layout
planning, contracting.
Eng. Ashour has more than 24 years of experience in the field of wind power as tender expert, wind park
planning expert, Coordinator of overall activities in many multi megawatt wind farms projects such as the

development study at the West Nile Valley(JICA), 3000 MW development planning study at the Gulf of el Zayt and
200 MW wind farm feasibility study at Gulf of El Zayt (KfW), 200 MW wind farm feasibility study at Gulf of Suez
(KfW), 200 MW wind farm at Gulf of Suez (NREA/Masdar) which will be executed under PPP Scheme, eight
Zafarana wind farms projects (545 MW) includes JBIC (120 MW), KfW I (30 MW) ,KfW II/III (50 MW), KfW V (80
MW), Danida 1 (30 MW), Danida II (30MW), Danida III (120 MW) and Spanish (85 MW) wind farm
implementation projects in Egypt, as well as one 2x250 MW BOO wind farm projects at Gulf of Suez and The Nile
West, two large-scale (1000 & 1500 MW) ESIA studies for wind farms at Gulf of El Zayt Gulf of Suez, Egypt.

feasibility studies (200 MW West Nile Valley/Egypt, 200 MW Gulf of El Zayt/Egypt, 200 MW Gulf of El Suez (GS1),
200 MW Gulf of El Suez (GS2)), tender documents and tendering (e.g. 220 MW Gulf of El Zayt/JICA, 250 MW BOO
Gulf of Suez, JBIC 120 MW & KfW I Zafarana, conceptual design/layout planning (e.g. JBIC & KfW Zafarana I,
Egypt), preparation of tender documents, tender process , bid evaluation up to contract signature according to
international standards (e.g. World Bank, JBIC/JICA, KFW, AFDB, AFD, Danida), contract revision, supervision of
implementation and warranty periods and acceptance negotiations at the end of the warranty period. He has
also carried out wind measuring programmes (e.g. Gulf of El Zayt/Egypt, Upper Nile/, Egypt, Gulf of Suez/Egypt)
as well as site identification, project appraisal and study missions for wind power development.
Eng. Ashour has significant experience in Tendering and Contract Negotiations of large projects such as for El
Zayt 220 MW wind farm project. El-Zayt 200 MW wind farm, El-Zayt 120 MW wind farm and Zafarana 120 MW
wind farm project. Furthermore he was participated in contract negotiations for 2000 MW in cooperation with
Siemens. He also has experience in overall project management and reporting, design review and
implementation supervision, contract supervision and claim management, testing before taking over.
