  2. Introduction The energy sector is playing a vital role in Egypt's economy. However, the Egyptian government currently faces a real challenge to make a strategic choice between satisfying the ever increasing national primary energy demand (depending by more than 94% on oil and gas) that is being offered to end-users with subsidized prices, and maintaining a certain level of hard currency revenues from oil and gas exports at world prices, even with a growing risk of accelerated depletion rates of national proven reserves. For the electricity sector, the load and energy demand grows by more than 10 % per year where the load is expected to reach 39703MW and the energy 220450 GWh by year 2020.

  3. Supply and Demand Sides Meeting the ever increasing demand on electricity with a high degree of reliability and sustainability has been one of the main issues addressed by the strategy developed and implemented by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy. The Egyptian Electricity sector has adopted strong measures in order to improve energy efficiency at both the supply and demand sides, this resulted in reducing the overall average specific fuel consumption from 340 gm to 217.6 gm of oil equivalent per kWh, reducing losses from 18 % to14% in 2008/2009. Comparable efforts have been conducted on the demand side to effectively utilize the electrical energy.

  4. Electricity Sector Strategy • The national strategy for Egypt’s power sector includes among others the following: • Optimize use of available energy sources and minimize environment pollution • Provide electricity with minimum price and best quality • Restructure electricity sector to optimize investments and improve electrical services • Utilize modern and sophisticated technical systems in electricity sector's operation and activities • Develop the expertise and skills of engineers and techniciansworking in the electricity sector. • Energy Efficiency Improvement

  5. To continue the electricity sector efforts, EEIGGR Project, was started in 1999, fits very well into this strategy: • The Project with the overall objective to reduce the long-term growth of greenhouse gas emissions from electric power generation and from consumption of non-renewable fuel resources is mainly based upon higher efficiency of equipment in the sector and better know-how of the professional staff through capacity building and learning. • The Project’s aims were specifically to assist Egypt in loss reduction in the electricity transmission system and in load management, enhance the end-use efficiency by market incentives and provide further information and support for co-generated electricity.
