1- Introduction 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 (94% oil and gas) that is being offered to endusers 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. The prices of electricity in Egypt range among the lowest in the world. The prices are fixed by the Egyptian and are highly subsidized. The tariff structure varies according to type of consumption (i.e. residential, commercial, industrial) and amount consumed. the government has been trying cut costs for subsidies. In July 2014, electricity prices were increased as part of a five-year plan which aims to start generating profits from electricity, which is currently sold for less than half its production cost. 28 October 2015 www.eco-fei.org 3
2- Energy consumption in Egypt The main consumer of electricity in Egypt is the residential sector which accounts for 42% of the total consumption, followed by the industrial sector (28%). The consumption of the residential sector has been steadily increasing in the recent years. According to the Ministry of Electricity and Energy 28 October 2015 www.eco-fei.org 4

7- RE Some Challenges Build a sustainable FiT mechanism to ensure and guarantee its success. Enforce the electricity network and extend it to sites enriched with natural resources; i.e. wind and solar. Build a transparent and reliable renewable energy spot market. Integrate RE plans into national economic, environment, and energy plans. Introduce an attractive long-term legislation framework. Motivate local financing institutions to support RE projects. Update knowledge and experience of local capacities. RE Week 2014, Berlin, Germany, Oct. 6-10, 2014

Initial reviews and detailed audit to power various industrial sectors. Application of energy management systems in accordance with standard ISO 50001. The use of new and renewable energy technologies in industrial applications. contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Supporting investment in energy generation from waste. 22
9- ECO RE Energy Activities 28 October 2015 23
Egyptian Renewable Energy Cluster Initiative ERECI FEI/ECO SD is participating in ERECI project to develop RE industry in Egypt and all RE stakeholders. ERECI. Specific objective: Develop several networking initiatives in Egypt and Europe aimed at establish long term and multidisciplinary public-private partnership. Stimulate a favourable technology transfer environment in order to enhance technological and not technological innovation and improve the Egyptian companies competitiveness. Strengthen cooperation with European and national counterparts via exchange of relationship, exchange of best practices, study visits, and brokerage events Enhance the Egyptian industry competitiveness for the development of cooperation industry/research.
