Energy Strategy until 2035§ A new strategy of electricity Sector was updated in

cooperation with EU in the framework of Energy Sector Policy Support Program (ESPSP) up to 2035 to ensure diversify of energy mix from all resources (Wind – Solar PV – Solar CSP - Coal – Nuclear – oil & gas).

§ In this strategy, all energy scenarios in Egypt has been studied by focusing on renewable energies and Energy Efficiency.

Energy Strategy until 2035§ In 18/10/2016 The supreme council chose the optimal scenario

for Egypt.

§ Now we are updating the strategy according to the newvariables such as fuel prices, floating exchange rate anddecaying of new technologies cost. A new optimal scenarioachievestherequiredenergybalanceincluding42%RenewableEnergy share till 2035, taking into consideration energy efficiency measures with the target of 18 %.

Installed capacity from hydro is 2843 MW Hydro power represents 7 % from the generated electrical energy.

Currently, Assuit Hydro Power Project with 32 MW is under implementation and it is planned to be operated by 2018

It’s planned to establish pumping & storage plant up to 2400 MW in Attaqa - Suez to be operated by 2022

A study has been conducted to choose the most suitable locations for Pumping & Storage plants.

Average wind speed reaches: 10.5 m/sec at 50 m height.

Average wind speed reaches: 7.5 m/s at 80 m height.

§ In Sep. 2014, The Cabinet has approved the Feed-in Tariffsystem for PV & wind farm with capacity less than 50 M.W.

§ the Regulatory Agency (Egypt ERA) has finalized theregulation rules.

§ FIT aims installing of 2300 MW (PV) (2000 M.W. byinvestors + 300 M.W. for residential rooftop) and 2000MW (wind).

§A central unit for FIT(On stop Shop) has been establishedto provide the necessary support for the investors.

Feed-in Tariff

§ FIT Unit received about 175 offers with about 10500 MWPV and about 3200 MW wind.

§ .9 Companies have submitted their offers in PV .§ 3 Companies had been qualified to implement 3 x 50 MW

PV projects at Benban area.§ 1st Project will start generating electricity on 15 November,

2017.

Feed-in Tariff1st Phase:

§ In Sep. 2016, A new phase of the Feed-in Tariff system forPV & wind farm has been announced to be applied by28/10/2016.

§The financial closure of the project was in October 2017.§By the end of October 2017, 30 Power Purchase Agreement

(PPA) was signed with total capacity of 1365 megawattsSolar project in addition to signing an agreements with twocompanies in a private land allocation with total capacity100 megawatts.

Environmental Impacts

vThe expected electricity generation is

around 49 TWh/year by 2022/2023

(including hydro) .

v Fuel Saving about 9.7 million TOE/year .

v CO2 emission reduction 25.3 million

Energy Efficiency

On the Supply Side:

ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT

§ Optimizing the share of the combined cycle power plants.

§ Usage of super critical steam technology.

§ Conversion of old thermal power plants to work in dual firingsystem.

§ Improve power plants efficiency and rehabilitation and renewal oftransmission and distribution networks to reduce fuel consumptionand electrical losses .

§ Modernization of the transmission network to be converted intosmart grid.

On the demand side:

ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT

In the residential sector

vAround 12 million CFL lamps were distributed with half price and 18 months guarantee.

v Another initiative for distribution 13 millions LED lamps has been announced (until now, more than 11 millions LED lamp have been distributed).

In street lighting sector:

vCurrently, a new project has been set to replace 3.9 million lamps with more efficient ones.(1.4havebeenreplaced)

Other programs:§ Energy conservation measures (mainly efficient

lighting and power factor correction) in manyadministrative buildings.

§ Labeling and standardsprogram for home appliances.

§ Energy efficiency codes forresidential, commercial andpublic buildings. Energy label for refrigerator

MOERE established a localization program for Design , Installation and manufacture of Components of electrical equipment . The following are now achieved:

§ 100% of the Transmission Networks up to 220 kVand all Distribution Network components.

§ 42 % of power plants components.§ 30% of the wind energy equipment (70% at the end of 2020).§ The local share in the 1st solar thermal power plant

project is 50%.

Local Manufacturing

§ It's planned to reach 100% of PV components.

§ The ministry of military production is planning to establish a factory afull chain to produce PV cells in Egypt using white sand available inEgypt

§ Egypt has signed an MoU between NREA and Siemens during theEgyptian economic conference (March 2015) to build 2000 M.W. windfarms with EPC+F Scheme, in addition to establish a wind turbineblades factory with annual capacity of 340 M.W. we have received twooffers from Vestas and General Electric with the same approach.

§ There are several opportunities for the private sector to participate inthe local manufacture such as: led lamps, dry transformers, electronicmeters, DC networks, smart grids, wind turbines, CSP, solar heaters.

Local Manufacturing

• Provide 165 million dollar to converge el shabab from gas turbin to

combine cycle (under implementation now with 94% ) .

• Provide 25 million dollar to converge west damiatta from gas turbin

to combine cycle (under implementation now with 95% ) .

• Development of Strategic Environmental and Social Impact

Assessment (SESA), Ornithological Investigation for an Area of 2200

km2 East Of Nile and land demarcation (on going). To establish wind

and solar projects.

• Strategic Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for an Area of

37.5 km2 at Benban (done) To establish solar PV projects.

Cooperation between Egypt and EBRD

EBRD support EGYPT strongly to implement

the FIT program by providing more than 1 billion

dollar in cooperation with Green climate fund

(GCF)(154 million us dollar for private sector to

construct around 750 MW in benban .

Cooperation between Egypt and EBRD

PROPOSED FIELDS FOR COOPORATION :

§ Creation of Energy efficiency market .

§ Smart meters and smart grid .

§ Reinforcement of transmition and distribution grids

§ Development of geothermal energy .

§ Pumping and storage .
