Egyptian Electricity Holding Company
Introduction
The Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) mission towards the society is to supply electricity to all types of consumers according to international performance standards taking into consideration all the environmental, social and economic determinants and also the terms and conditions set by the Regulatory Agency For Electric Utilities and Consumer Protection.
In order EEHC achieves its mission, it always does its best endeavors to improve the performance and develop the human resource capabilities of its affiliated companies.
EEHC main role is to coordinate, supervise, monitor and follow-up its affiliated companies activities in the fields of generation, transmission and distribution of electric energy in order to improve and develop the technical, operational and financial performance of the companies to achieve the main goal of optimizing the use of all resources and maximizing the profit.
Since July 2001, a series of restructuring steps took place for the affiliated companies, it started by unbundling of the generation, transmission and distribution activities and form thirteen companies (five generation, one transmission and seven distribution) and due to the high growth rate of the number of consumers and demand and the associated increase in the number of power plants, network expansion and customer service centers, further unbundling took place .
Now EEHC has sixteen affiliated companies (six generation, nine distributions and the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company).
EEHC coordinates between the companies as an Integrated Economic Unit that can afford to provide a self financing portion for its future plans.

Electricity for 2008/2009
During the last Fiscal Year 2008/2009 It was a challenge for EEHC to meet the growth in electricity demand; the peak demand reached 21330 MW and energy generated 131040 GWh and in the same time maintained system reliability and efficiency of supply. The availability rate of power plants reached 88.5% in line with the international norms and standards.
EEHC supervise the implementation of the sixth five year plan (2007/2008-2011/2012)to meet the expected average annual growth rate of demand of 6.38%by adding generation capacity of 7750MW.
EEHC set the seventh five year plan (2012/2013-2016/2017) based on expected average annual growth rate of demand of 6 %,which entails adding a generation capacity of 11100 MW .
In the meantime EEHC and its affiliated companies continuously develop, improve and modernize the services to its customers (the number of customers increased from million 4.5 in early eighties to million 24.7 in FY2008/2009 )to speed and facilitate the processes of the required services and to reach international best practices.
In order to achieve such goals, EEHC gives great emphasis that the affiliated companies achieve the targeted technical, operational, procedural and financial indicators which were set according to international standards.
In order the companies achieve the targeted performance indicators; they set up all necessary mechanisms and provide all technical and human resources capabilities necessary for the continuous development of generation, transmission and distribution techniques.
In order to maximize the local contribution in different planned electricity projects, EEHC cooperates and coordinate with all local Egyptian firms and entities.
EEHC aims to create a wider market for its services in the Arab and African countries through the establishment of joint consulting companies or marketing the Egyptian experience in the field of electricity -As an example of such cooperation - the electrical interconnection projects and the establishment of the joint consulting companies with Syria and Libya.
In order to acquire, benefit and transfer latest and diversified international experience to its dear customers, EEHC cooperates with international companies and firms and participate in international conferences, workshops and seminars.
Acknowledging the importance of data documentation, Egyptian Electricity Holding Company issues this annual report to document its activities and achievements over the Fiscal Year 2008/2009 to be as a reference to those who are interested in the field of electrical energy.

International Electrical Interconnection
The Egyptian power sector since more than twenty five years was keen to improve its performanc through diversification of electrical energy resources and adopting new policies for energy trade at regional and international levels .This could be achieved through several axes of electrical interconnection with Arab, African and European countries as follows:.
1. The Axis of Integrated Arab Electrical Interconnection • The following interconnections are in operation:
Electrical Interconnection Egypt-Libya 5/1998Electrical Interconnection Egypt-Jordan 10/1998Electrical Interconnection Syria-Jordan 3/2000Electrical Interconnection Syria-Lebanon 4/2009This has lead to the interconnection between the transmission systems of, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Libya.
• In the framework for completing the interconnection system between the eight Arab Mashrequ Countries (Egypt, Jordan Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Turkey, and Palestine) ,the 400 KV interconnection between Syria and Lebanon was commissioned in April,2009 and an agreement that Egypt exports 450 MW of power to Jordan ,Syria and Lebanon, divided equally between them, was reached . Also an exchange of power agreement was signed between Egypt and Lebanon in February 2009.
• As for the interconnection between Mashrequ and Arab Maghreb countries(Libya ,Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco), bending on the success of the second commissioning tests for the interconnection line Libya -Tunisia which is planned by the end of this year, the interconnection between Arab Mashrequ and Arab Maghreb countries will be achieved.
• In the framework of achieving the Integrated Arab Electrical Interconnection, the techno-economic feasibility study for the interconnection between the Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia and Egypt has been completed. The study concluded the feasibility of exchange of power up to 3000 MW between the two countries. The implementation of this project will lead to an integrated interconnection between Maghreb Arab Countries, Mashrequ Arab Countries and the Countries of Gulf Cooperation Council; this represents 98% of total generation capacities of the Arab Countries.

2. The Axis of African Electrical Interconnection:
• Since the beginning of the nineties, Egypt in cooperation with the African Development Bank studied the possibilities of electrical energy trade between African countries and Europe and a techno-economic feasibility study for the interconnection between Aswan in Egypt and Inga Dam in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) passing through Central Africa and Sudan to transmit 40 GW of hydro power generated from Inga to North Africa and Europe was conducted.
• Egypt-represented by MOEE- participating in the Nile basin initiative and techno-economic feasibility study for electrical energy trade between the Eastern Nile Basin Initiative (Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan) completed in December 2008. The study concluded the feasibility of exporting 3200 MW from Ethiopia to Sudan (1200MW) and to Egypt (2000MW).
• Moreover, Egypt is a member of the East Africa Energy Forum comprising nine countries (Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Uganda, Democratic republic of Congo) in addition to its effective participation in the committees and meetings of the African Union for Production and Distribution of Electrical Energy(UPDEA) comprising more than fifty African countries.
3. The Axis of Electrical Interconnection with Europe:
Through Egypt`s participation in the Observatoire Mediterranean de l’Energie (OME) and the Study Committee for the electrical interconnection of the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries, discussions are on the way to study the interconnection between Egypt and Greece.
The study aims at achieving the interconnection with the European network and exporting renewable energy (Solar and Wind) from Egypt to Europe.
Accordingly, Egypt will become the focal and central point for electrical energy trade between Countries of Gulf Cooperation Council, Arab Mashrequ, Arab Maghreb, Nile Basin countries and Europe.
Future Vision for Regional Electrical Interconnection
Study for upgrading the interconnection with Arab Maghreb Countries through Libya to 500/400 kV has been finalized in April, 2004.
The study final report was presented to the concerned countries (ELTAM) , and it was agreed to implement the recommended projects for repowering the national networks (500/400KV) of Egypt and Arab Maghreb Countries according to the following time schedule.
1. Libya will finalize the construction of the 400KV lines before year 2010.
2. Egypt will finalize the construction of the 500KV Sidi Krir / El Saloom line and El Saloom 500 KV substation by year 2012.

Initiatives of the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company in the Fieldof Energy Efficiency and Conservation
The electricity sector in Egypt is doing a great effort to supply electricity to all its customers with a high degree of reliability, availability, responding to the social and economical country development plan.With the rapid increase of energy demand during the last two decades, a crucial importance was implied in the energy policy decisions to improve efficiency on supply and demand sides due to its direct impact towards improving environmental conditions through reducing the long-term growth of Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from electric power generation
Within this context, the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company has implemented several studies and projects in the field of energy efficiency improvement and conservation where several actions have been taken and many impacts have been achieved through the following:.
1- Energy Efficiency Legislations :EEHC, in cooperation with the Egyptian Organization for Standardization (EOS) have, successfully developed the energy efficiency standards and energy labels for seven of the most market-penetrated appliances in Egypt, namely, room air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, clothes washing machines, electric water heaters, electronic ballasts and compact fluorescent lamps. Ministerial decrees have been issued to enforce these standards as well as the energy efficiency labels on all locally manufactured and imported equipment, Energy efficiency standards have also been developed for the efficient motors and distribution transformers.An accredited energy efficiency testing laboratory has been established at the New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) to support the national energy efficiency standards and labeling program to conduct energy efficiency tests on all these appliances.
EEHC in cooperation with the Housing and Building Research Center (HBRC) of the Ministry of Housing has developed energy efficiency building codes for residential and commercial buildings, moreover has introduced a new activity for the development of an energy efficiency building code for the administrative buildings as a result of a study prepared by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy to improve energy efficiency in Egyptian governmental buildings.The developed codes gives minimum performance standards for building windows and openings, natural ventilation and thermal comfort, ventilating and air conditioning equipment, natural and artificial lighting and electric power.In 2006, 2008 Ministerial Decrees have been issued by the Ministry of Housing Utilities & Urban Communities for the enforcement of the Residential and Commercial Buildings Energy Efficiency Code
2- Energy Efficiency Improvement in Residential Sector: Lighting is the largest electricity user especially in the residential sector, to activate the diffusion of efficient lighting among customers, EEHC through the electricity distribution companies has implemented a program for selling Compact Fluorescent Lamps(CFL) to their customers through facilitating the payment of it`s price in eighteen installments to be added to the electricity bills with a guarantee period of 18 months where more than 600 thousand lamps have been sold through this program. Moreover the Ministry of Electricity and Energy has embarked on an ambitious program for a larger dissemination of the CFLs where 6.2 million lamps have been sold through the electricity distribution companies at half of their prices. The annual achieved savings are expected to reach 730 MKWh and a load decrease of 400 MW, thus reducing the needed investments for construction of new power plants, decrease the amount of fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions

3- Energy Conservation in Governmental buildings: The governmental buildings consume around 5% of the total energy consumed by the country. A study conducted by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy, has developed a list of energy conservation opportunities economically feasible and technically proven to be applied in the governmental buildings, Therefore a decision was taken by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy to implement energy efficiency projects in governmental buildings through an ambitious program under execution by the electricity distribution companies starting by administrative buildings belonging to the Ministry, where energy efficiency projects have been implemented in more than 450 buildings up to June 2009 mainly efficient lighting projects and power factor improvement.Projects are also implemented by the distribution companies in customers administrative buildings located in the geographical area of each distribution company, .this is achieved through providing technical assistance, conducting energy efficiency audits and implementing energy efficiency projects where the cost will be reimbursed to the distribution companies through installments.67 projects have been implemented up to June 2009.Memorandum of understanding has been signed with governmental entities to implement energy efficiency projects in their buildings and increase awareness of their employees on energy efficiency concept.Other Ministries have implemented energy efficiency projects in their buildings such as the Ministry of Irrigation where 20% savings have been achieved through efficient lighting application.The Ministry of Electricity and Energy has also conducted several training sessions to employees of different ministries and localities in the field of energy efficiency to assist appointment of energy managers in governmental buildings.
4- Energy Efficiency Improvement in Street Lighting:A techno economical study has been implemented by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy for replacing inefficient lamps by compact fluorescent lamps and use of digital electronic ballasts to manage the intensity of street lighting according to the needs, the study has concluded the possibility of decreasing the street lighting load by 450 MWBased on the recommendations of the Supreme Energy Council, the Ministry of Electricity and Energy in cooperation with the local authorities and the Ministry of Finance has conducted a survey for the number and different types of lamps used for street lighting all over the country to replace them by high efficient lamps according to a decided plan and implementation program.
5- Increase Awareness and Cooperation with the Non Governmental OrganizationsMany seminars have been conducted to increase awareness of end users on the importance of energy efficiency, moreover encouraging Non Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) to raise awareness of the end users as they have the direct contact with both end users and local authorities .Technical as well as financial support have been provided to NGOs working in the field of energy and environment through the Energy Efficiency Improvement Project implemented by the Egyptian Electricity Company and the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) Small Grant Program to cover the following activities : − Trainings, capacity building for technicians in the field of efficient lighting.− Holding seminars & workshops for public awareness of energy efficiency.− Energy efficient projects implementation through revolving funds for CFL disseminations.− Establish show rooms in the Head Quarter of NGOs for the illustration.− Implementation of pilot projects for efficient street lighting.More than eleven NGOs have benefited from the Grants offered by the GEF Small Grant Program.
6- Encouraging Local Manufacture of Efficient Equipment:The EEHC has encouraged local manufacturers of CFLs by creating a market and providing technical assistance through the energy efficiency standards and available testing laboratories leading to increase on demand, quality improvement and price reduction of CFLs.

Electricity Pricing:
The electricity tariff applied in Egypt is structured according to the following:
Supply Voltage levels : price depends on the supply voltage level, where costs are calculated at the generation sent out and network investement, operating and losses costs was added for each voltage level, resulting in increased costs with the decrease in voltage level.
Purpose of consumption :It is mainly an energy tariff, with exception to consumers supplied from medium vlotage and has peak demand 500 KW, the tariff includes both demand charge and energy charge,Tariff structure with ascending segments is applied to reidential and commercial consumers.The social concern and conservation of energy has always been taken into consideration when setting the electricity tariff in Egypt. The tariff applied to residential consumers is structured with ascending segments which is known as life line tariff where monthly electricity bill is calculated by dividing the consumption on the tariff segments. This sructure encouraged consumers with high consumption to conserve energy and at the same time they subsidized part of the vulnerable consumers consumption.
Although the cost of service is increasing every year, the tariff applied to the first segment of residential consumption (up to 50 KWh/month) represents 23% of total number of residential consumers is heavily subsidized, 5 piaster’/kwh it covers less than 25% of cost of service to residential consumers and was constant since 1993. Also residential consumption up to 730 kwh/month is subsidized
Many factors are affecting the increase of the cost of service, mainly:• High growth rate of demand, energy consumption increased from 15.7 Twh in 1980/81 to 112 TWh in
2008/2009 with an average annual increase fo 7.3%.• High increase in investment costs to meet the high growth in peak demand due to the increase
in international and local equipment cost for the construction of new power plants and associated networks. The investment reached about 13.2 billion EGP this year compared to average annual investments of about 4 billion EGP during the five year plan 2002-2007.
• The increase in foreign currencies exchange rate (EGP/$), fuel prices, operating expenses and wages.• The increase in the share of thermal generation from 30% in 1975 to 88% in 2008/2009 against a
constant hydro power production and the increase of fuel cost.
The electricity tariff for the residential consumption in Egypt is by far less than the one applied in many Arab countries such as Jordan, Algeria, Morocco and some African and Asian countries with the same annual income level as Egypt, such as South Africa, Turkey, India and China.
