e Maximum use of natural gas.

Increase of generation efficiency through rehabilitation, conversion to

combined cycle, and selection of large sizes for new units.

Reduction of transmission and distribution losses from 19% in 1981 to 13% in 1998, by rehabilitation of

networks and installation of shunt capacitors.

General Aspects

• Load Management Program with the support of the World Bank.

• Load Management strategy mainly for cement industry, and irrigation pumping.

• New Contracts for EHV & HV consumers based on 0.9 power factor instead of 0.8.

Overall Objective

The overall objective of this project is to assist Egypt to reduce the long term

growth of GHG emission from electric power generation and from

consumption of on-renewable fuel resources.

Activities to fulfill this Objective:

1 Supporting efficiency improvement and loss reduction in electricity generation, transmission & distribution.

2 Enhancing EEA capabilities in integrated resource planning (IRP).

3 Stimulating customers demand and supporting market delivery for energy efficiency services and equipment.

4 Promoting private sector involvement for investing in energy efficiency projects.

5 Enhancing regional co-operation and exchange of experience in this field.

6 Development and implementation of energy conservation measures in residential, commercial and industrial sectors.
