R. E. Institutional Framework

In 1986, The New & Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) was established as a dedicated organization to introduce RE technologies to Egypt on a commercial scale.

The electricity sector policies depend on 3 main Pillars:Diversifying electric energy resources.

Improving Energy efficiency and maximizing energy conservation measures.

Enhancing the role of renewable energy (RE) in the electric production.

The electricity sector



Mandate of NREARenewable energy resources assessment.

Implementation of mature technologies.

Research, development, demonstration, Testing and evaluation of the different technologies.

Education, training and information dissemination.

Transfer of technology, development of local industry.

Testing and certification of RE equipment to development of local standards and codes.

NREA Strategy

The strategy targets to cover 3% of the electric energy demand by 2010, and to be 17% by 2020

IN THE FIELD OF

Wind Energy



oWind EnergyoResource Assessment in Wind

Egypt enjoys high wind regime, particularly in the area of Suez gulf where the wind speed reaches 10 m/sec.

A wind atlas for the Suez Gulf Coast was issued in 1996 in cooperation with Denmark.

In march 2003, a detailed wind atlas was issued, concluding that the region can host about 20000 Mw of wind farms.

The atlas is being conducted to cover whole of Egypt and is planned to be finalized in 2006. The Most Promising Wind Farms Locations Along The The Most Promising Wind Farms Locations Along The

oSolar PhotovoltaicMost of the known PV applications have been field tested and demonstrated to evaluate the performance under the prevailing local conditions, including: water pumping, desalination, refrigeration & ice making, village electrification, telecommunication,…etc.Some P.V. Application have been already commercialized, such as telecommunication studies, Radio, Television, Telephone, Microwave, Navigation aids, and highway advertising boards.

oSolar Thermal EnergyoDomestic Solar Water Heating Systems (DSWHS)

Since then DSWH systems are manufactured locally. Currently about 200,000 families are using DSWH systems in Egypt.

In 1992 NREA established the out-door solar thermal laboratory which is currently the main research, testing and certification facility for solar thermal applications in Egypt. More than nine local manufacturers are now working in the field.

In 1980, in order to introduce the technology to the Egyptian market, the Ministry of Electricity & Energy imported 1000 DSWH systems, using flat-plate c o l l e c t o r t e c h n o l o g y .

In the same year, the first private sector local manufacturing was started



oSolar Thermal EnergySolar Industrial Process Heat•The Industrial Sector is the highest consumption in the sectorial energy consumption in Egypt.

•About 50% of the total national primary energy consumption is used in industrial sector

•About 60% of the industrial energy consumption is used in industrial process heat

•About 20% - 30% of the industrial energy consumption is wasted:- Low maintenance - Inefficient processes

Two demonstrate and field test Solar Industrial process Heat andWaste Heat Recovery projects have been established by NREA with co-operation and financed by USAID

&a pilot project for Solar Industrial process heat using concentrating collectors is currently implementing by NREA with co-operation and financed by ADF
