8/6/2019 Annual 2010 En


Energy plays significant role in any nation’s

progress, and securing its resources is one of

the most important aspects of any

development plans.

The strategy of Energy and Electricity Sector

aims to meet all development needs from

electricity, and in order to achieve this, its

strategy is based on diversifying energy

resources, through all available sources of

energy, and improving energy efficiency.

Besides, the energy sector aims also through

this strategy to encourage local manufacturing

of energy supplies, protecting the

environment and adopting new technologies.

The global attention of renewable energy has

increased in recent decades, and this is due to

different factors, including, the need to

protect environment, the instability that the

conventional energy markets witnessed in

recent years, and meeting the increased

demand of energy in order to achievesustainable development.

Egypt is endowed with different renewable

energy resources, especially wind and solar

energies. Accordingly, it was necessary to set

up a specialized body to promote the different

uses of renewable energy, and hence, the New

and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA)

was established in 1986. Since then, it has

been working to disseminate the utilization of renewable energy in different fields

performing efficiency tests, and conserving

energy.

All these activities were undertaken through

an integrated system that includes NREA and

various electricity companies which all aim at

securing energy supply in order to achieve

development goals.

Our activities in the field of renewable energy

are based on scientific approach, and there are

several activities in that field including,

energy resources assessment, issuance of both

wind and solar Atlases and hence specifying

the most appropriate sites for implementing

different projects in the renewable energy

fields.

The fruitful international co-operation played

an important role in moving from the phase of

experimental projects with limited capacities

to large scale renewable energy grid-

connected projects. The total installedcapacities from wind energy projects reached

550 MW in Zafarana and Hurghada in 2010.

These projects were implemented in co-

operation with Denmark, Germany, Spain

and Japan. There are current projects under

preparation with capacity of 1120 MW. in

Gulf of Zayt on Red Sea Coast.

The future of Renewable Energy is promising

and holds a lot of progress to our country. TheSupreme Council of Energy has approved an

ambitious plan that aims to reach 20% of total

generated electricity through renewable

energy by the year 2020 including 12% from

wind energy, and this will be achieved

through establishing grid-connected wind

farms with total capacity of approximately

7200 MW, in addition to other renewable

energy application such as solar energy andhydro power.

Some of projects of renewable energy will be

state – owned projects by (NREA) and the

others will be implemented through private

sector investments.

On the other hand, the first solar thermal

power plant in Egypt is currently under

implementation. The plant uses the parabolic

8/6/2019 Annual 2010 En


trough technology integrated with combined

cycle using natural gas as fuel. The capacity

of the project is 140 MW and it is located in

Kuraymat. The project is expected to be

operated in 2011.

The Ministry of Energy and Electricity

represented by NREA has established the

“Testing and Research Centre” in 1996. The

center is equipped with the latest technologies

for assessing performance and quality of

different renewable energy equipment. The

authority has established also laboratories for

testing

different home appliances as refrigerators,

washing machines, air conditioners and

energy saving lighting units “Lamb”. All

these efforts is exerted to serve the energy

efficiency activities in Egypt.

This year we celebrate the 25th

anniversary of

establishment of New and Renewable Energy

Authority which represents the interest of

energy sector in non-conventional energy. We

are proud of what we have achieved in the

field of wind and solar energies and all the

other projects that implemented in such areas

which put Egypt among the leaders in the

region in this field.

Speech of Eng.

Abd El Rahman Salah El Din

Executive Chairman

8/6/2019 Annual 2010 En


This year, we celebrate the 25th

anniversary of the establishment of New

and Renewable Energy Authority, andduring all these years, we witnessed a

great changes in energy field, both in local

and global levels. These changes were

expressed in technology development

,introduction of different new technologies

and changes in energy prices across the

whole world ,in addition to success and

economic challenge beside different

political and social changes. All thesechanges resulted in deep connection

between environmental issues, energy and

sustainable development, and hence, the

renewable energy gained great importance

and becomes not only a field for research

and development but played significant

role and became an economical &

commercial tool to increase energy

security and supply.

During this two decades we observed

emergence of new technologies; as wind

and solar technologies which become

among the most important technologies of

renewable energy, while some

technologies as wave and sea energies

have recessed to a great extent.

Egypt has succeeded in coping with all

these changes and this is due to its insight

that renewable energy activities needs

specialized entity which is New and

Renewable Energy Authority, with a

mission to disseminates the different uses

of renewable energy and increasing its

shares in energy supplies in a way that

leads to fuel saving, improving our

environment and adopting new

technologies.

Egypt has become one of the leading

countries in renewable energy field in

Africa and Middle East, especially in wind

and solar power.

There are wind projects with total capacity

of 550 MW, in addition to solar thermal

power plant with capacity of 140 MW.

Besides, Egypt has put an ambitious

strategy that aim to reach 20% of totalgenerated electricity by the year 2020.

Renewable energy projects have gone

through different stages during all these

years ranging from resources assessment,

experimental projects, large-scale

governmental projects till private sector

projects.

Our leadership in this field has been

achieved through the efforts exerted by all

NREA’s staff and under the wise

management of all its leaders along all

these years. And as a way of expressing

our deep concern and gratitude, we have

included in this annual report just a

summary of their achievements in a

section entitled “25 years of achievements in photos”.

And finally, I express my deep

appreciation and thanks to all NREA’s

staff and to all those who were behind the

success and progress of renewable energy

activities in Egypt.

Energy in Egypt

Egypt is a Middle Income Country (MIC)

with strong ownership of its development

strategy. The Government has established

a good track record of economic reform.

This has led to a friendlier investment

climate, which in turn has yielded a strong

private sector response.

However, this economic growth has been

accompanied by a growth in energy use,

especially higher demand for electricity

implying adding about 1500 – 2000

MW/year.

Among its neighbors, Egypt is considered

energy-resource endowed, with its crude

oil and natural gas reserves meeting 95%

of its overall needs. Egypt’s proven oil

reserves stand 18.4 billion barrel.

Egypt, has a strategic importance in the

international oil trade, because of its

operation of the Suez Canal and SUMED

(Suez Mediterranean) oil pipelines, two

routes for export of Arab Gulf oil. Egypt

has the largest reformers capacity in the

African continent with capacity of 726

barrel daily

Egypt’s proven oil reserves for 2009/2010

are estimated at 78 trillion cubic feet

(TCF). About 60% of the domestic natural

gas production is utilized by power sector

and the domestic gas demand is increasing

competing with increasing gas exports

through pipelines.

In view of the increasing pressures on

fossil fuel resources and the resulting

increases in local and global

environmental impacts, one of the key

pillars of the GoE's energy strategy isgreater reliance on renewable energy

sources. particularly wind and

concentrated solar power (CSP).

Hydropower is the third major energy

resource in use, but most of the Nile's

hydropower potential, about 85 percent,

has already been exploited to generate

about 13 TWh of electricity per annum.

Renewable energy development has been

led by NREA that has developed and

operated renewable energy generation

facilities with concessional financing from

donors, which include 550 MW of wind

power plants with 140 MW concentrated

solar power (CSP) field.

Growing of Natural Gas Recourses

(2000/2001) to 2007/2008)

8/6/2019 Annual 2010 En


The electricity generation expansion plan

for Egypt includes achieving a total solar

capacity of 150 MW by 2017. Some of the

world's best wind power resources are inEgypt, especially in the areas of the Gulf

of Suez, where at least 7200 MW could be

potentially developed by 2020.

In order to accelerate the wind program to

be able to achieve the ambitious target, the

Government is pursuing a wind

commercialization program that will focus

on engaging the private sector. One of the

key models is the competitive bidding

approach where the EETC will issue

tenders requesting supply of power from

large scale renewable energy resources for

specific pre-determined sites on a Build,

Own, Operate (BOO) basis. It is expected

that the competitive bidding approach will

result in additional capacity of about 2500MW of private sector capacity.

Egypt's electricity network is

interconnected with neighboring Libya

and Jordan and through these countries

further on with Maghreb and Mashreq

countries, respectively. Given its excellent

renewable energy, resources, there is also

a good potential for trading "green

energy" within the region and outside the

region.

The Ministry of Electricity and Energy

(MoEE) is the principal policy agency in

the electricity sector, including Egyptian

Electricity Holding Company (EEHC),

New and Renewable Energy Authority,

Rural Electrification Authority,

Hydropower Projects Authority, and

Nuclear Energy Agencies. The Supreme

Council for Energy, established in 2006

according to a Prime Minister’s decree

and reporting to the President.The council

deals with strategic issues in the energy

sector, including major policy initiatives,

investment programs, and energy pricing.

Egyptian Electric Utility and Consumer

Protection Agency, was established in

1997. Its main functions include licensingand sector supervision. The Minister of

Electricity and Energy is also Chairman of

the Board of Directors of the Utility, with

the other nine members of the Board

appointed by the Prime Minister and

selected to represent the various

stakeholders in the industry.

NREA Headquarter

8/6/2019 Annual 2010 En


EEHC have achieved a great success in

developing the sector, as it now serves

more than 99 percent of households.

Egypt has put in place a number of

measures to gradually reform its sector

from a vertically integrated state owned

monopoly into a commercially oriented

flexible structure.

The government is preparing the ground

for advancing the sector reform further. A

new Electricity Law awaiting

parliamentary approval, introduces a

number of changes toward strengthening

sector's commercial orientation and its

opening to private investment and

competition.

In order to bring the sector finances and

energy consumption to a more sustainable

path and to reduce the fiscal burden of

energy consumption, few years ago the

government initiated a series of energy

price increases. Annual increases of

electricity tariffs were approved in 2008.

The GoE has prepared a National Energy

Conservation plan and has set up an

energy conservation coordination group to

coordinate activities of energy consumers

and supplies in promoting more efficient

use of energy. The current activities are

focusing on increasing use of compact

fluorescent lamps (CFLs), improving

energy efficiency in street lighting andpublic buildings, and scaling up solar

water heating (SWH). On the supply side,

the main effort is improving the use of

fossil fuels through the increased use of

combined cycle gas turbine power plants.

The MoEE, with endorsement of the

Cabinet, adopted the following strategy:

(i) increased use of efficient fossil-fuelgeneration technologies ; (ii) large scale

development of Egypt's renewable

resources with the goal of having 20% of

its installed generation capacity in the

form of renewable by 2020 (including the

existing hydropower); and (iii) stepping

up efforts for more efficient consumption

of electricity. The government is also

8/6/2019 Annual 2010 En


considering development of nuclear power

plants - the first such plant is planned to

be put in operation in year 2018.

Private Sector Participation :

In the mid-1990s the independent power

producers participated in electricity

generation field . This effort yielded to the

construction of three privately developed

power plants with combined capacity of

2,048 MW, completed in 2002 and 2003,

under the build-own-operate-transfer

(BOOT) arrangements, with 20-year

Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)

supported.

In late January 2010 the government

invited offers from private developers to

prequalify ( for a tender to construct a

1500-MW combined cycle gas turbine

plant (with option to expand its capacity to

2,250 MW) at Dairut (Behera

Governorate). Other private investment

project on conventional generation may

follow.

As a mean to diversify its energy supply

options and mitigate the environmental

impacts of fossil fuel based power

generation, the GoE has made an

ambitious strategy aims at increasing

usage of renewable energy. The councilhas also recently approved key political

steps related to wind power scale-up in the

country. These include: (a) Approval by

the supreme energy council to cover

additional costs for renewable energy

projects;(b) Finalization of the land use

policy for wind power developers; (c)

Approval of zero customs duty on wind

equipment (d) Acceptance of foreigncurrency denominated PPAs and

confirmation of central bank guarantees

for all BOO projects and (e) Permitting

support for developers with respect to

environmental, social and defense

clearances. These measures are already

being implemented pending their adoption

as part of the new electricity law.

VisionEconomic and social sustainable development is

directly linked with the availability of adequate

sources of energy, which ensure suitable living

conditions. This requires the provision of abalanced mix of conventional and renewable

energy resources, and reducing impacts of energy

production and consumption on the surrounding

environment and human health.

The development of renewable energy

technologies, systems and its applications to the

commercial use have opened promising prospects

for the potential to contribute significantly in

providing part of the required energy for the

process of development.

Energy is incorporated in all aspects of life in

different forms and by reading the history of

humanity we find that the most powerful

civilization is the one that own know-how to use

energy more efficiently and in a productive

manner than others. Because of the direct

correlations between energy and social issues

that impact sustainable development such as

poverty, employment, health and climate changes,

science such as energy economics, energy

management and energy planning ...etc. has been

developed and energy share per capita has become

one of development indicators.

Besides the main role of renewable energysources in preserving the environment and

reducing its negative effects on climate change, its

role in securing energy sustainability cannot be

overlooked. Also, research and development

efforts in using available natural resources leads

to increase the feasibility of these technologies

and adding more prospects to the applications of

renewable energy.

From this standpoint, the national approach aims

to work on expanding the use of renewable energyand increasing rates of investment to meet the

energy growing demand.

Consequently, NREA is working on resource

assessment of renewable energy sources and

planning for the development of its investment

within the overall framework of the State policy,

which meant to identify areas suitable for the

production of electricity from wind farms and

solar plants and preparing the technical, economic

and environmental studies needed to implement

such renewable energy projects.

Strategy

Egypt's role emerged during the past few years as

a regional leader in the field of exploiting wind

power in electricity generation in the Middle East

and Africa. In this sense and in line with the

general framework of energy policies in Egypt,

the Supreme Council of Energy in Egypt

announced the strategy for the electric power

based on diversifying energy sources of production, rationalizing the use of energy and

expanding use of renewable energy sources as a

component of energy provision. The strategy,

which was approved in February 2008, aims to: contribution of renewable energies by 20% of the

total electricity generation by the year 2020. The

share from the grid-connected wind power is 12%

of the total electricity generation, and that

represents about 7200 MW total capacities. Also,other renewable energy applications, led by

hydropower and solar energy, will have a

significant contribution.

8/6/2019 Annual 2010 En


Policies Efforts is being exerted in order to reach total

capacities of 7200 MW and this will be achieved

through two main path: -

1- State-owned projects implemented by theNREA with total capacities of 2375 MW

(represents 33% of total installed

capacities). These projects will be

financed through governmental

agreements.

2- Private sector projects with total

capacities of 4825 MW (represents 76%

of total installed capacities).

Policy of increasing the participation of private

sector will include two phases :-Phase I: Adopting Competitive Bids approach as

the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company

will issue tenders internationally requesting

private sector to supply power to build, own,

operate wind farms and selling electricity for the

company with price agreed upon between thecompany and the investor .

Phase II: Application of Feed-in-tariff system,

taking into consideration the prices and

experience achieved in phase I. In May 2009, investors were invited to submit

their prequalification documents for the first

competitive bid for 250 MW wind farm (BOO

scheme). Through the few coming years, it is

expected to launch some wind projects via

competitive tenders.

Incentives for the Private Sector In 26/7/2009, the supreme council of energy has approved the following policies in order to stimulate and

support generating electricity from wind energy :-

Approving private sector participation

through competitive tender and bilateral

agreements. Reducing project risks through signing long

term Power Purchase Agreement, PPA, for

20-25 years.

The Government of Egypt will guarantee all

financial obligations under the PPA.

The selling price for energy generated from

renewable energy projects will be in foreign

currency in addition to a portion, covers

operation and maintenance costs, in local

currency.

Investors will benefit from selling certificates

of emission reduction resulted from theproject implemented.

Evaluation criteria for tenders of renewable

energy projects will give privilege for local

components.

Forming mutual committee of representatives

from Ministers of petroleum, electricity,

finance and investment in order to prepare

and encourage proposal against allocating

lands to implement wind projects. In

26/5/2010 the cabinet has approved the

committee proposal of encouraging private

sector participation through :

o Exempting renewable energyequipment from custom duties.

o Obtaining approvals and all the

required permits to obtain lands and

clearing it from land mines.

o Preparing the studies required for

implementing projects such as

environmental, bird migration and

soil research studies.

o Project land shall be allocated

according to the following

conditions:-

Restoring the lands by the stateat the end of the life span of the

project.

NREA will restore costs of

preparing the land for the

projects and this costs will be

part the project investment

costs.

The investors shall repay these

costs on an annual installment

from 3 – 5 years, after operation

and generating electricity.

Wind Energy

Wind power systems depend on mechanical

energy as wind move turbine blades and this

mechanical energy is converted to electricity

through electrical generators. Wind energy

has achieved great progress as the capacity for

the one turbine has increased in addition to

progress in the operation and grid connecting

capacities.

Resource assessment

Modern designs are directed towards reducing

the investment costs in addition to increasing

its reliability.

There is a clear indication of the rapid spread

of these systems and the increasing

dependence on it as its annual growth is

estimated by 30%. Allover the world the

connection of wind farm to the national grid

has led to an increase in wind capacities in

previous years specifically from 4,8 MW in

1995 reaching 175 GW in July 2010.

Egypt Wind Atlas was published in

December 2005, in co-operation with

RISO laboratories of Denmark, and

Egyptian Meteorological Authority,

(EMA), it aims at evaluating areas

with high wind speed which is

qualified for wind energy projects.

Atlas concluded that there are many

promising areas with high windspeeds in the Gulf of Suez, some areas

located on both sides of the Nile

River, and some areas in Sinai. These

areas are qualified for the

establishment of large-scale wind

energy projects. It is worthy to mention that two Wind

Atlases for the Gulf region had been

published in 1999 and 2003,

respectively, before publishing EgyptWind Atlas.

starting in 2001, through the

governmental co-operation protocolswith Germany, Denmark, Spain and

Japan.

120 MW wind farm in Zafarana has been

completed in August 2010 before the end

of the contractual terms. The wind farm is

implemented in co-operation with

Denmark. The total capacities reached

517 MW.

It is expected that the total capacities in

Zafarana would reach 545 MW after the

completion of 120 MW farm thatimplemented through co-operation with

Japan.

Hurghada wind farm operates since 1993,it includes (42) wind turbines with

different technologies, German, Danish,

Lands In light of the technical studies, specially

wind Atlas, NREA selects sites suitable for

carrying out wind project. Then NREAobtains required approvals from various

authorities to allocate lands to carry wind

project, helping the investor to avoid carrying

all the required procedures, not used for other

purposes.

Land proposed for carrying wind projects by

the private sector is desert areas.

In May 10th

2006, Red Sea Governor decree

No. 136 for the year 2006 was issued

allocating about 656 km2

to NREA to

establish wind farm projects.

In May 30th

2009 a presidential decree No.138 for the year 2009 was issued to allocate

about 1229km2at west of Suez Gulf.

In September 17th

2009 a presidential decreeNo. 319 for the year 2009 was issued approving

allocation of some lands to implement windprojects. This land is located in Upper Egypt,

West and East of the Nile to governorates of Beni Sueif, Minya, Assuit with total amount of

6418 km2. The lands will be used according to

a usufruct contracts and to some rules approvedby the cabinet.

Future ProjectsNREA plans to implement wind projects with

total capacities of 2370 MW as part of its strategy

to promote wind energy :

- NREA is currently preparing to achieve wind

projects with total capacities of 1120 MW.

These projects will be implemented through

governmental co-operation agreements

according to the following :

First : Projects with capacities of 540 MW

under implementation and its financingprocedures was completed : 200 MW Wind plant in co-operation with

KfW, European Investment Bank (EIB) andthe European Union.

An “Umbrella Agreement” was signedbetween Egyptian Government, German

Government and the European

Commission. Peoples Assembly ratified

this agreement.

The consultancy contract was signed in

November 2009.

The project tender was issued and the

envelopes was opened in July 2010.

The contractor is expected to be selected

in December 2010.
