Fourth, electricity and natural gas<br />
When the Electricity network cover<strong>in</strong>g all <strong>Aswan</strong>’s cities and villages has<br />
design capacity able to produce more electricity, the governorate of <strong>Aswan</strong><br />
plans to promote it <strong>in</strong> order to provide the electricity needed for future<br />
<strong>in</strong>dustrial development. The 220 kV electricity network <strong>in</strong> <strong>Aswan</strong>, depends on<br />
20 power stations to take its energy from the High Dam. In 1986, a power<br />
plant called (<strong>Aswan</strong> 2) established, to provide electricity at the rate up to 270<br />
MW. Recently, a power station established to generate 12 thousand GWh per<br />
year. The High Dam generates about 22% of the total energy produced and<br />
consumed <strong>in</strong> Egypt and <strong>Aswan</strong> consumes 20% of this energy. KIMA factory is<br />
the largest consumer of energy <strong>in</strong> <strong>Aswan</strong>, as it consumes about 450 GWh<br />
annually. The <strong>in</strong>dustrial sector <strong>in</strong> <strong>Aswan</strong> consumes about 76% of the produced<br />
energy, 70% of which is given only for 2 factories and 6% for the other<br />
factories <strong>in</strong> the governorate. The follow<strong>in</strong>g table shows the electricity<br />
distribution <strong>in</strong> <strong>Aswan</strong> governorate:<br />

In the field of natural gas, the governorate of <strong>Aswan</strong> plans to <strong>in</strong>troduce<br />
natural gas to all residential units by the end of 2009 to make all <strong>Aswan</strong> cities<br />
free of butane gas cyl<strong>in</strong>ders.<br />
By the year 2009, natural gas would be <strong>in</strong>troduced to all upper Egyptian<br />
governorates to provide cheaper and cleaner source of energy for its<br />
factories. Hence, Upper Egypt would reach a level of cultural development<br />
would revitalize itsmarketsand kt providenewjobs.<br />
It is scheduled to deliver natural gas to <strong>Aswan</strong> <strong>in</strong> 3 years <strong>in</strong>stead of five years<br />
through the 4,300km pipel<strong>in</strong>e, which starts <strong>in</strong> Qena Governorate. Besides,<br />
465 exploratory and productive wells would be drilled to explore for crude oil<br />
and natural gas <strong>in</strong> eastern and western desert, Delta and Wadi El‐Naqra <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>Aswan</strong>.
