The Ghoubet Wind Power Station is a 60 megawatts wind power energy project in the country of Djibouti located in the Horn of Africa. The wind farm is owned and was developed by independent power producers. The power generated is sold to Electricité de Djibouti (EDD) (Electricity of Djibouti), the national electricity utility monopoly, for integration into the national grid. The wind farm is the country's first grid-ready renewable energy power station. The Republic of Djibouti has plans to derive all its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.[1][2]
