1 Arab Republic of Egypt Ministry of Electricity & Energy New & Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) Current and expected contribution of RES-E in NA countries Ehab Ismail Ameen General Manager of Planning Dept.

2 ORGANIZATION CHART OF MINISTRY OF ELECTRICITY & ENERGY Egyptian Electricity Holding Company Nuclear Materials Authority Nuclear Power Plants Authority Hydro Power Projects Execution Authority Atomic Energy Authority New & Renewable Energy Authority

3 Institutional framework: Establishing NREA (1986) The national focal point to develop and introduce renewable energy technologies to Egypt on a commercial scale together with implementation of related energy conservation programs

4 RE Current Situation - Since 2001, series of large scale wind farms were established with capacity of 550 MW in cooperation with Germany (KFW), Denmark (DANIDA), Spain and Japan (JICA) through soft loans. The 1st CSP plant is 140 MW including solar field of 20 MWe based on parabolic trough technology and 120 MW combined Cycle. It has been operated since July 2011.

5 National Strategy up to 2020 In February 2008, the Supreme Council of Energy approved an ambitious plan to: Satisfy 20% of the generated electricity by renewable energies by % Wind 7200 MW 6% Hydro 2800 MW 2% Solar 1320 MW in July 2012 an Egyptian Solar Plan has been approved by the Cabinet which targeting to install about 3500 MW by 2027 :- (2800 MW CSP MW PV)??????

6 Polices of Implementing RE Strategy Five policies has been approved to foster the increasing of RE energy contribution as following: Issuing tenders internationally requesting private sector to supply power from wind energy projects. Investors are allowed to build & operate RE power plants to satisfy their electricity needs or to sell electricity to other consumers though the national grid will be applied taking into consideration the prices achieved in phase 1. In Jan. 2013, Egyptera Board approved to apply net metering system to encourage the implementation of PV Roof Top systems. A heavy industries consumption will be obliged to use a percentage of its electricity consumption from RE sources.

7 Support of Egyptian Government 1. Lands Availability:- - More than 7600 square kilometers of desert lands have been allocated for implementing future projects. - All permits for land allocation are already obtained by NREA. - Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) including Bird migration studies have been prepared by NREA in cooperation with international consultants. - Signing land use agreement with the investor against payment equivalent to 2% of the annual energy generated from the project or its value. 2- Custom Duties:- - Exempting all renewable energy equipment and spare parts from the customs duties. 3- Power Purchase Agreement :- - Signing long term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) ( 20-25) years. - Central Bank of Egypt will guarantee all financial obligations of EETC under the PPA. 5- Renewable Energy Fund:- - Establishing a renewable energy fund to cover the gap between cost of electricity from conventional and renewable energies

8 Future Projects for Wind Energy FINANCING MECHANISM FOR RE EETC is committed to purchase all the generated electricity Governmental Project (1340 MW) Wind (100 MW) CSP (40 MW ) PV The developers will sell the generated electricity directly to the consumers IPP Project (720 MW) The investor shall sell the electricity generated to his own consumers or feed his own loads Competitive Bids (750 MW Wind ) 200 MW PV Power Plant (20X10) Feed-in-tariff: System will be applied taking into consideration the prices achieved in Competitive Bids NREA works as a facilitator and a supporting body for the private

9 Wind Energy Projects under implementation by NREA 200 MW, in Cooperation with Germany & EU& EIB Projects in the Pipeline (Tendering Phase) 220 MW, in Cooperation with Japan (JICA) 120 MW, in cooperation with Spain. Projects under preparation 200 MW, with MASDAR 200 MW,, in cooperation with Germany, AFD, EIB, EU. 200 MW, in Cooperation with Germany, AFD 200 MW, in Cooperation with Japan (on the Nile Western Bank).

10 Wind Energy Projects under implementation by the Private Sector 250 MW wind farm (private Sector) on a BOO basis in the Gulf of Suez: 10 developers were short listed in Dec., The measurements campaign has been completed and Dec. 1 st is the dead line of submitting the offers. It is planned to operate the project in MW wind farm (private Sector) on a BOO basis in the Gulf of Suez The prequalification documents for the 2nd competitive bid for 500 MW wind farm, in 2 phases (2x250 MW), will be announced during the next few months.

11 Wind Energy Projects under implementation by the Private Sector 120 MW, in cooperation with Italian Company to supply electricity for its owned factories in Egypt and it is under implantation. 600 MW wind farm in the Gulf of Suez: NREA announced for availing 6 pieces of land each one 15 km2 in Suez Gulf for establishing 100 MW wind farm project for each piece of land based on auction system, to build & operate wind power plants to satisfy their electricity needs or to sell electricity to other consumers though the national grid. The land will be availed to the investor against at least 2% of the annual electricity generated or its value from the project.

12 Future Solar Energy Projects A feasibility study for 100 MW CSP grid connected at Kom Ombo site has been conducted. It is planned to operate the project in grid connected PV governmental projects, 20 MW each, Hurghada & Kom Omb are under preparation. in On 27/7/2013, the prequalification developers were invited to submit their prequalification for implementing solar PV power plants (20MWx10) based on BOO system and selling the generated electricity to the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company

13 The Main Challenges Egypt is now struggling to meet its own energy needs because:- Increasing the growth rate of the energy demand The availability of Natural Gas for current and future power plants has turned into a real constraint. Securing the required huge finance for RE projects and the transmission lines by the public and private sector. Securing the sufficient financial resources for RE Fund. The average cost of kwh generated from RE projects still higher than the same kwh from conventional power plants due to Low Energy Tariff There is not electricity market.

14 The Main Challenges

15 Challenges to the adopted concept (continued) Quick evolution of the power demand in south Mediterranean over the period necessary for the development of necessary infrastructure, which will rely principally on conventional sources. Time needed to develop the required infrastructure as well as mobilizing necessary investments. Economical constraint regarding operating these transmission lines on renewable energy solely without considering mixing with conventional energies or expensive storage techniques. Substantial changes needed in the European markets which include, limited number of injection points, new congestion management protocols, market integration, opening the internal electricity market to south Mediterranean counties.

16 When North Mediterranean Countries need to Import Electricity from South Mediterranean?

17 What We Are Expecting from BETTER? There are many projects & studies conducted or under conducting and funded by EU. But we are looking forward and expecting from BETTER different results and recommendations. Supporting Egypt to implement its ambitious RE plans through conducting technical & economical study to submit innovative methods or recommendations to overcome the challenges faces RE dissemination via:- Integrating with the existing studies to reform the electricity subsidy Supporting the Creation of Electricity Market Operating RE Funs on sustainable basis.???????

18 Needs Assessment First Market Development of markets Technical rules Legal rules Commercial rules Second Market Boundary

19 Supply driven Demand driven Development of the Market Possible creation of a tarns boundary entity (Body) to stimulate and possibly manage the market (Internally & Regionally)

20 Legislative rules Investigating existing legislations and regulations (regionally & internationally) any additional developments. Legislations governing the market development (e.g. FIT vers. Industry; taxes) Contracts between the different markets Interconnection Agreements TPA contracts and Priority of Dispatching as well as Energy Banking Day to day markets Liability Duration Dispute resolution

21 Technical rules Planning and design (optimal losses, etc.) Grid code Capacity Ancillary services Stability Operational schemes (e.g. priority dispatching, grid access, etc.)

22 Commercial rules Metering Accounting Tariffs Flat TOU Capacity/Demand Trading conventional and RE energies
