22 Feed-in Tariff/ Locations of FiT PV Project 37 km 2, 45 Pieces, 1750 Benban/Aswan 10 km 2, 7 Pieces, and Zafarana/Suez

23 Feed-in Tariff/ Locations of FiT Wind projects at Gulf of Suez 328 km 2, 43 Pieces, and 2150 MW

24 Feed-in Tariff/ Environmental Issues for Wind Energy Sites 128 km 2 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been conducted. Shutdown on demand system will be applied. 240 km 2 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has to be conducted.

25 Feed-in Tariff/ Sharing of Upfront Costs Paid by NREA Permits costs Studies; Environmental Impact Assessment, Ornithological studies etc. Activities; Mine clearance; Roads; etc

26 Distributed Solar Technologies PV and SWHs

27 Feed-In Tariff Rates for PV Rooftop Sector US$/kWh Tariff EGP/kWh Residential Installed Capacity < 200 kw kw < Installed Capacity < 500 kw

28 Certification of PV Installers NREA certifies PV installers for ongrid PV systems less than 500 kw. PV Installers have to prove their capabilities to design, install, operate and maintain PV systems. Criteria for certification is already published on NREA website: ml More than 100 PV Installers are already certified

29 MED-Desire Project Objectives Raising public awareness on energy efficiency through the transferability and implementation of good practices in legal, regulatory, economic, and organizational issues including the promotion of new financing mechanisms to facilitate the take up of solar technologies Final beneficiaries: Local communities: new jobs Retail and industrial energy consumers: greater energy price stability Research centres and universities: crossborder technology transfer and cooperation

30 Egysol Project Partners: 1) Italian Ministry of Environment 2) New and Renewable Energy Authority, NREA Targeted Touristic Areas: + South of Sinia Governorate + Red Sea Governorate Objectives + SWH : 5000 m 2 (60% achieved) + Oil Savings: 4000 toe + CO 2 abatement: 12 k-ton

31 RE&EE Testing & Certification Center This center was established in cooperation with EU & Italy. The center includes a set of integrated advanced indoor and outdoor laboratories for testing and certification of renewable energy equipment (solar, wind & biomass) The Center is also entrusted to serve the Egyptian energy efficiency standards & labeling program through specialized laboratories for refrigerators, washing machines, air conditions and lighting units. It includes also supporting Labs (Aging Chemicals & Physical Optical Electronic Mechanical Pumping). The center is entrusted to carry out tests on performance, reliability, durability as well as environmental impact of renewable Energy and energy efficiency equipment, hence issue licensing certificates.
