Introduction
The Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC)

mission towards the society is to supply electricity
to all types of consumers according to international
performance standards taking into consideration all
the environmental, social and economic determinants
and also the terms and conditions set by the
Regulatory Agency For Electric Utilities and Consumer
Protection.
In order EEHC achieves its mission, it always does

its best endeavors to improve the performance
and develop the human resource capabilities of its
affiliated companies.
EEHC main role is to coordinate, supervise, monitor

and follow-up its affiliated companies activities in the
fields of generation, transmission and distribution of
electric energy in order to improve and develop the
technical, operational and financial performance of
the companies to achieve the main goal of optimizing
the use of all resources and maximizing the profit.
Since July 2001, a series of restructuring steps

took place for the affiliated companies, it started
by unbundling of the generation, transmission and
distribution activities and form thirteen companies (five
generation, one transmission and seven distribution)
and due to the high growth rate of the number of
consumers and demand and the associated increase
in the number of power plants, network expansion
and customer service centers, further unbundling
took place .
Now EEHC has sixteen affiliated companies (six

generation, nine distributions and the Egyptian
Electricity Transmission Company).
EEHC coordinates between the companies as an

Integrated Economic Unit that can afford to provide a
self financing portion for its future plans.
7
During the last Fiscal Year 2008/2009 It was a challenge for EEHC to meet the
growth in electricity demand; the peak demand reached 21330 MW and energy
generated 131040 GWh and in the same time maintained system reliability and
efficiency of supply. The availability rate of power plants reached 88.5% in line with
the international norms and standards.
EEHC supervise the implementation of the sixth five year plan (2007/2008-
2011/2012)to meet the expected average annual growth rate of demand of 6.38%by
adding generation capacity of 7750MW.
EEHC set the seventh five year plan (2012/2013-2016/2017) based on expected
average annual growth rate of demand of 6 %,which entails adding a generation
capacity of 11100 MW .
In the meantime EEHC and its affiliated companies continuously develop, improve
and modernize the services to its customers (the number of customers increased
from million 4.5 in early eighties to million 24.7 in FY2008/2009 )to speed and
facilitate the processes of the required services and to reach international best
practices.
In order to achieve such goals, EEHC gives great emphasis that the affiliated
companies achieve the targeted technical, operational, procedural and financial
indicators which were set according to international standards.
In order the companies achieve the targeted performance indicators; they set
up all necessary mechanisms and provide all technical and human resources
capabilities necessary for the continuous development of generation, transmission
and distribution techniques.
In order to maximize the local contribution in different planned electricity projects,

EEHC cooperates and coordinate with all local Egyptian firms and entities.
EEHC aims to create a wider market for its services in the Arab and African
countries through the establishment of joint consulting companies or marketing the
Egyptian experience in the field of electricity -As an example of such cooperation -
the electrical interconnection projects and the establishment of the joint consulting
companies with Syria and Libya.
In order to acquire, benefit and transfer latest and diversified international experience
to its dear customers, EEHC cooperates with international companies and firms
and participate in international conferences, workshops and seminars.
Acknowledging the importance of data documentation, Egyptian Electricity Holding

Company issues this annual report to document its activities and achievements
over the Fiscal Year 2008/2009 to be as a reference to those who are interested in
the field of electrical energy.

It is noteworthy that the available Capacity of the Hydropower plants is not equal to
the installed capacities throughout the year. The reason is that the available capacity
of the hydropower plants of the High Dam, Aswan Dam (I & II) and Esna decrease
during the period of minimum irrigation discharge, besides the negative impact of the
high temperature in summer and the derating of some units

Hydro power is considered one of the cheapest and cleanest sources of power
generation. In Egypt, the power generation from hydro resources started in
1960, with the construction of Aswan Dam to control the Nile water discharge for
irrigation. In 1967 the 2.1 GW High Dam hydro power plant was commissioned,
followed by the commissioning of Aswan 2 power plant in 1985 and in cooperation
with the Ministry of Water Resources and Public Works; Isna hydropower plant
was commissioned in 1993 and Naga-Hamadi in year 2008. The share of hydro
generation represents about 11.2% from total generation in 2008/2009.

Fuel
– With the increase in the Egyptian reserve of N.G., policy has been adopted to replace liquid
fuel (H.F.O & L.F.O) by N.G due to its distinction apparent in the economical and environmental
aspects.
– Usage of N.G (Including BOOTs) in power plants connected to the gas grid reached (82.1%)
in 2008/2009 representing (78 %) of total fuel consumption in the power plants.

• Within the framework of the Energy Strategy

of Egypt, the strategy of the power sector
has focused on the diversification of the
use of fuel resources, promoting the use
of renewable energy and rational use of
conventional energy resources.
• Egypt is endowed with abundance of wind
energy resources especially in Suez Gulf
area which considered one of the best sites
in the world due to high and stable wind
speeds.
• The West of Suez Gulf Zone is the most
promising sites to construct large wind farms due to high wind speeds which ranges between
8-10 meter/second in average and also due to the availability of large un- inhabitant desert area.
• Also there are other promising sites having wind speeds in the range of 7-8 meters/second in the
East and West of river Nile near Beni Sweif and Menia Governorates and El-Kharga 0asis in New
Valley Governorate.
• New and Renewable Energy Authority(NREA) ,responsible of disseminating the use of new and
renewable energy resources in Egypt ,in cooperation with the leading countries in wind energy,
succeeded to became one of the leaders in renewable energy in the region and installed 425 MW
of wind capacity until 30/6/2009.
• EEHC cooperates with NREA, through the following:
1) Generation planning taking into consideration the contribution of the renewable energy.
2) Network planning to ensure the capability of power transfer from the renewable projects.
3) Purchase energy generated from wind farms at reasonable price to encourage the use of
renewable energy.

Renewable Energy Expansion Plan up to year 2011/2012
First: Wind Energy

In April 10, 2007, The Supreme Energy Council in Egypt
adopted a resolution on an ambitious plan aiming at
increasing the contribution of renewable energy to reach
20% of total energy generated in 2020(8% hydro &12%
wind).This target will be achieved by private sector
participation in financing,building,owning and operating
wind farms in Egypt so that the total instolled capacity of
wind energy reaches 7200 MW by year 2020.
This target will be met by scaling up wind energy

capacities to reach 7200 MW in year 2020 producing
about 31 billion kWh yearly reslting in annual fuel saving
of about seven million ton of oil equivalent and 17 million ton CO2 emission reductions.
On May 14, 2009 EETC issued a Request for Prequalification, (RFPQ), inviting independent power
producers/developers to submit their qualifications to build, own, and operate (BOO) a 250MW Wind
Power Plant on a predetermined site on the shores of the Gulf of Suez. The project company formed
by the Winning Bidder is required to design, finance, build, own, and operate a wind power plant for
a term of (20-25) years. In August 2009, 34 consortiums comprised from International developers
,wind manufacturers and local construction companies submitted their qualifications . The evaluation
of the qualifications has been finalized and a short list of ten consortiums was announced in October
2009. It is intended to have the Wind Power Project operational by December 2013.
Several wind projects with total capacity of 1040 MW are underdevelopment as follows:
Gabal El Zeit 420 MW
West of River Nile 200 MW
Suez Gulf 300 MW
Private Investements 120 MW
Second: Solar Energy

The first solar thermal power plant at Kuriemat

International Electrical Interconnection
The Egyptian power sector since more than twenty five years was keen to improve its performanc
through diversification of electrical energy resources and adopting new policies for energy trade
at regional and international levels .This could be achieved through several axes of electrical
interconnection with Arab, African and European countries as follows:.
1. The Axis of Integrated Arab Electrical Interconnection

• The following interconnections are in operation:
Electrical Interconnection Egypt-Libya 5/1998
Electrical Interconnection Egypt-Jordan 10/1998
Electrical Interconnection Syria-Jordan 3/2000
Electrical Interconnection Syria-Lebanon 4/2009
This has lead to the interconnection between the transmission systems of, Syria, Jordan, Egypt
and Libya.

• In the framework for completing the interconnection system between the eight Arab Mashrequ
Countries (Egypt, Jordan Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Turkey, and Palestine) ,the 400 KV
interconnection between Syria and Lebanon was commissioned in April,2009 and an agreement
that Egypt exports 450 MW of power to Jordan ,Syria and Lebanon, divided equally between them,
was reached . Also an exchange of power agreement was signed between Egypt and Lebanon in
February 2009.
• As for the interconnection between Mashrequ and Arab Maghreb countries(Libya ,Tunisia, Algeria
and Morocco), bending on the success of the second commissioning tests for the interconnection
line Libya -Tunisia which is planned by the end of this year, the interconnection between Arab
Mashrequ and Arab Maghreb countries will be achieved.
• In the framework of achieving the Integrated Arab Electrical Interconnection, the techno-economic
feasibility study for the interconnection between the Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia and Egypt has been
completed. The study concluded the feasibility of exchange of power up to 3000 MW between the
two countries. The implementation of this project will lead to an integrated interconnection between
Maghreb Arab Countries, Mashrequ Arab Countries and the Countries of Gulf Cooperation Council;
this represents 98% of total generation capacities of the Arab Countries.
32
2. The Axis of African Electrical Interconnection:

• Since the beginning of the nineties, Egypt in cooperation with the African Development Bank
studied the possibilities of electrical energy trade between African countries and Europe and a
techno-economic feasibility study for the interconnection between Aswan in Egypt and Inga Dam
in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) passing through Central Africa and Sudan to transmit 40
GW of hydro power generated from Inga to North Africa and Europe was conducted.
• Egypt-represented by MOEE- participating in the Nile basin initiative and techno-economic feasibility
study for electrical energy trade between the Eastern Nile Basin Initiative (Egypt, Ethiopia, and
Sudan) completed in December 2008. The study concluded the feasibility of exporting 3200 MW
from Ethiopia to Sudan (1200MW) and to Egypt (2000MW).
• Moreover, Egypt is a member of the East Africa Energy Forum comprising nine countries (Egypt,
Ethiopia, Sudan, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Uganda, Democratic republic of Congo)
in addition to its effective participation in the committees and meetings of the African Union for
Production and Distribution of Electrical Energy(UPDEA) comprising more than fifty African
countries.
3. The Axis of Electrical Interconnection with Europe:

Through Egypt`s participation in the Observatoire Mediterranean de l’Energie (OME) and the Study
Committee for the electrical interconnection of the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries,
discussions are on the way to study the interconnection between Egypt and Greece.
The study aims at achieving the interconnection with the European network and exporting renewable
energy (Solar and Wind) from Egypt to Europe.
Accordingly, Egypt will become the focal and central point for electrical energy trade between
Countries of Gulf Cooperation Council, Arab Mashrequ, Arab Maghreb, Nile Basin countries and
Europe.
Future Vision for Regional Electrical Interconnection

Study for upgrading the interconnection with Arab Maghreb Countries through Libya to 500/400 kV
has been finalized in April, 2004.
The study final report was presented to the concerned countries (ELTAM) , and it was agreed to
implement the recommended projects for repowering the national networks (500/400KV) of Egypt
and Arab Maghreb Countries according to the following time schedule.
1. Libya will finalize the construction of the 400KV lines before year 2010.
2. E
gypt will finalize the construction of the 500KV Sidi Krir / El Saloom line and El Saloom 500 KV
substation by year 2012.

Ensuring High Level of Quality, Availability and Continuity

of Supply to Distribution Customers
The following procedures have been taken to improve continuity of supply indices :
• Analysis of the causes in case of increased un-planned interruptions and relate it to network
renovation and rehabilitation plans.
• Follow-up the implementation of maintenance programs to insure optimizations of interruption
of supply time and at the same time implementation of the maintenance procedures with high
quality.
• Insure high quality of the services provided by the call centers in case of interruptions.
• Intensive field inspections and data collection for interruptions, these data are compared with the
recorded data to check for accuracy.
• The use of automatic restoration devices for overhead lines with high interruption rates, this
system enables quick restoration for minor faults and help in locating the place of major faults,
resulting in reducing restoration time and number of interuptions.
• Setting annual plan for the rehabilitation and extension of system components in order to meet
the growth of demand and reduce interruption rates. In addition to the implementation of the
most up-to-date maintenance and rehabilitation procedures for power plants, transmission and
distribution networks.
Supply of electricity to slum areas and building constructed illegally:

Upon the guidance of H.E the President of the republic, and the approval of the cabinet dated
26/10/2005 for supplying electricity to slum areas, and the Council of Governors approval for
supplying electricity to illegally constructed buildings on November first,2005.
Ministry of Electricity and Energy set a plan starting from 1/1/2006 to supply the slums and illegally
constructed buildings in stages.
Status of electricity supply to slum areas and illegally constructed buildings till the first of October
2009 :
a) Slum areas:
• Electricity were supplied to 410 thousand households representing 99.6% of the number who
paid the supply cost in the first stage (connecting the households near the source of supply).
• Electricity were supplied to 29.4 thousand households (connecting the households far from
the source of supply) representing 97% of the number who paid the supply cost in the second
stage.
b) Illegally constructed buildings:
• 530.4 thousand requests were received from the owners of the buildings, approval for connecting
electricity to 430 thousand requests was received from the Governorates, 338.4 thousands were
connected representing 99.4% of the number paid the supply cost.
Trace- passes on transmission lines right of way:

• Due to continuous habitat extensions and the construction of buildings in the safety distances
of the right of way of overhead transmission lines, and in order to secure the structures and
personnel, electricity companies periodically register the routs of transmission lines with trace
passes on the safety distances in their right of way to be included in the companies` plans to
change the overhead lines to cables or change the line routs.
• Governorates were requested to finance these changes.
• Some of the over head transmission lines with trace-passes already replaced by underground
cables or their right of way changed to be out side the inhabitant area, coordination with governorate
is going on to complete the changes required in the network to cure the rest of the trace-passes.

Initiatives of the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company in the Field

of Energy Efficiency and Conservation
The electricity sector in Egypt is doing a great effort to supply electricity to all its customers with a
high degree of reliability, availability, responding to the social and economical country development
plan.
With the rapid increase of energy demand during the last two decades, a crucial importance was
implied in the energy policy decisions to improve efficiency on supply and demand sides due to its
direct impact towards improving environmental conditions through reducing the long-term growth of
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from electric power generation
Within this context, the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company has implemented several studies and
projects in the field of energy efficiency improvement and conservation where several actions have
been taken and many impacts have been achieved through the following:.
1- Energy Efficiency Legislations :

EEHC, in cooperation with the Egyptian Organization for Standardization (EOS) have, successfully
developed the energy efficiency standards and energy labels for seven of the most market-penetrated
appliances in Egypt, namely, room air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, clothes washing machines,
electric water heaters, electronic ballasts and compact fluorescent lamps. Ministerial decrees
have been issued to enforce these standards as well as the energy efficiency labels on all locally
manufactured and imported equipment, Energy efficiency standards have also been developed for
the efficient motors and distribution transformers.
An accredited energy efficiency testing laboratory has been established at the New and Renewable
Energy Authority (NREA) to support the national energy efficiency standards and labeling program
to conduct energy efficiency tests on all these appliances.
EEHC in cooperation with the Housing and Building Research Center (HBRC) of the Ministry of
Housing has developed energy efficiency building codes for residential and commercial buildings,
moreover has introduced a new activity for the development of an energy efficiency building code for
the administrative buildings as a result of a study prepared by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy
to improve energy efficiency in Egyptian governmental buildings.
The developed codes gives minimum performance standards for building windows and openings,
natural ventilation and thermal comfort, ventilating and air conditioning equipment, natural and
artificial lighting and electric power.
In 2006, 2008 Ministerial Decrees have been issued by the Ministry of Housing Utilities & Urban
Communities for the enforcement of the Residential and Commercial Buildings Energy Efficiency
Code
2- Energy Efficiency Improvement in Residential Sector:

Lighting is the largest electricity user especially in the residential sector, to activate the diffusion
of efficient lighting among customers, EEHC through the electricity distribution companies has
implemented a program for selling Compact Fluorescent Lamps(CFL) to their customers through
facilitating the payment of it`s price in eighteen installments to be added to the electricity bills with a
guarantee period of 18 months where more than 600 thousand lamps have been sold through this
program. Moreover the Ministry of Electricity and Energy has embarked on an ambitious program
for a larger dissemination of the CFLs where 6.2 million lamps have been sold through the electricity
distribution companies at half of their prices. The annual achieved savings are expected to reach
730 MKWh and a load decrease of 400 MW, thus reducing the needed investments for construction
of new power plants, decrease the amount of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
42
3- Energy Conservation in Governmental buildings:

The governmental buildings consume around 5% of the total energy consumed by the country. A
study conducted by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy, has developed a list of energy conservation
opportunities economically feasible and technically proven to be applied in the governmental
buildings, Therefore a decision was taken by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy to implement
energy efficiency projects in governmental buildings through an ambitious program under execution
by the electricity distribution companies starting by administrative buildings belonging to the Ministry,
where energy efficiency projects have been implemented in more than 450 buildings up to June
2009 mainly efficient lighting projects and power factor improvement.
Projects are also implemented by the distribution companies in customers administrative buildings
located in the geographical area of each distribution company, .this is achieved through providing
technical assistance, conducting energy efficiency audits and implementing energy efficiency projects
where the cost will be reimbursed to the distribution companies through installments.67 projects
have been implemented up to June 2009.
Memorandum of understanding has been signed with governmental entities to implement energy
efficiency projects in their buildings and increase awareness of their employees on energy efficiency
concept.
Other Ministries have implemented energy efficiency projects in their buildings such as the Ministry
of Irrigation where 20% savings have been achieved through efficient lighting application.
The Ministry of Electricity and Energy has also conducted several training sessions to employees
of different ministries and localities in the field of energy efficiency to assist appointment of energy
managers in governmental buildings.
4- Energy Efficiency Improvement in Street Lighting:

A techno economical study has been implemented by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy for
replacing inefficient lamps by compact fluorescent lamps and use of digital electronic ballasts to
manage the intensity of street lighting according to the needs, the study has concluded the possibility
of decreasing the street lighting load by 450 MW
Based on the recommendations of the Supreme Energy Council, the Ministry of Electricity and Energy
in cooperation with the local authorities and the Ministry of Finance has conducted a survey for the
number and different types of lamps used for street lighting all over the country to replace them by
high efficient lamps according to a decided plan and implementation program.
5- Increase Awareness and Cooperation with the Non Governmental Organizations

Many seminars have been conducted to increase awareness of end users on the importance of energy
efficiency, moreover encouraging Non Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) to raise awareness of
the end users as they have the direct contact with both end users and local authorities .
Technical as well as financial support have been provided to NGOs working in the field of energy
and environment through the Energy Efficiency Improvement Project implemented by the Egyptian
Electricity Company and the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) Small Grant Program to cover the
following activities :
− Trainings, capacity building for technicians in the field of efficient lighting.
− Holding seminars & workshops for public awareness of energy efficiency.
− Energy efficient projects implementation through revolving funds for CFL disseminations.
− Establish show rooms in the Head Quarter of NGOs for the illustration.
− Implementation of pilot projects for efficient street lighting.
More than eleven NGOs have benefited from the Grants offered by the GEF Small Grant Program.
6- Encouraging Local Manufacture of Efficient Equipment:

The EEHC has encouraged local manufacturers of CFLs by creating a market and providing technical
assistance through the energy efficiency standards and available testing laboratories leading to
increase on demand, quality improvement and price reduction of CFLs.

Commercial Activities
Electricity Pricing:
The electricity tariff applied in Egypt is structured according to the following:
Supply Voltage levels :

price depends on the supply voltage level, where costs are calculated at the generation sent out and
network investement, operating and losses costs was added for each voltage level, resulting in increased
costs with the decrease in voltage level.
Purpose of consumption :
It is mainly an energy tariff, with exception to consumers supplied from medium vlotage and has peak
demand 500 KW, the tariff includes both demand charge and energy charge,
Tariff structure with ascending segments is applied to reidential and commercial consumers.
The social concern and conservation of energy has always been taken into consideration when setting the
electricity tariff in Egypt. The tariff applied to residential consumers is structured with ascending segments
which is known as life line tariff where monthly electricity bill is calculated by dividing the consumption on
the tariff segments. This sructure encouraged consumers with high consumption to conserve energy and
at the same time they subsidized part of the vulnerable consumers consumption.
Although the cost of service is increasing every year, the tariff applied to the first segment of residential
consumption (up to 50 KWh/month) represents 23% of total number of residential consumers is heavily
subsidized, 5 piaster’/kwh it covers less than 25% of cost of service to residential consumers and was
constant since 1993. Also residential consumption up to 730 kwh/month is subsidized
Many factors are affecting the increase of the cost of service, mainly:
• High growth rate of demand, energy consumption increased from 15.7 Twh in 1980/81 to 112 TWh in
2008/2009 with an average annual increase fo 7.3%.
• High increase in investment costs to meet the high growth in peak demand due to the increase
in international and local equipment cost for the construction of new power plants and associated
networks. The investment reached about 13.2 billion EGP this year compared to average annual
investments of about 4 billion EGP during the five year plan 2002-2007.
• The increase in foreign currencies exchange rate (EGP/$), fuel prices, operating expenses and wages.
• The increase in the share of thermal generation from 30% in 1975 to 88% in 2008/2009 against a
constant hydro power production and the increase of fuel cost.

The electricity tariff for the residential consumption in Egypt is by far less than the one applied in many
Arab countries such as Jordan, Algeria, Morocco and some African and Asian countries with the same
annual income level as Egypt, such as South Africa, Turkey, India and China.
