2. Promote the integration of energy efficiency and renewables into public and private housing
construction projects in the municipality.
3. Integrate the development of energy efficiency and renewable energy into the municipal sustainable
development plan (job creation, local energy efficiency and renewables market, market for local
services, etc.).
4. Engage all stakeholders on the territory to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy
development.
5. Develop partnerships with all providers that are favourable to the implementation of the SECAP.
6. Inform the public about the true cost of energy and make known the incentives and initiatives that

7. Create energy conservation and efficiency measures, renewable energy development and
environmental protection communication plans that target the local population and the socioprofessional
categories present in the territory of the City of Luxor.
8. Reduce energy needs during peak periods by managing electricity demand and by changing energy and
gas consumption behaviours and habits.
9. Coordinate with the government on the national strategy and energy efficiency and renewable energy
action plan, as well as on the review of the municipal sustainable energy action plan.
The primary objectives of the City of Luxor are:
Short-term objectives 2020:
- Reduce energy consumption across the board by around 10% to 15%, and
- Reduce GHG emission by 10% in 2020, compared to the business as usual scenario (2015 baseline).
Medium and long-term objectives 2030:
- Boost efforts to reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency resulting in a continuous trend of
improvement in energy intensity (energy consumption compared to gross development product),
- Continue reducing GHG emission with the objective of reaching at least a reduction of 26 per cent by
2030 and if possible going to 30 per cent reduction compare to the BAU scenario. Such an effort will
place the City of Luxor in the appropriate trajectory to match the collective target agreed at COP 21
end of 2015 and known as the Paris Agreement,
- Improve quality of life in Luxor and optimize service delivery to inhabitants and all stakeholders in
order to speed the energy transition towards sustainable development, and
- Doing so, strengthen the City of Luxor attractiveness, positioning the city as an example of responsible
tourism and culture.
Note that the CES-MED project produced two national reports to be used as reference documents for the
Governorate implementing their SECAP:
• Institutional and regulatory analysis of energy efficiency and renewable energy development at the
municipal level texts related to legislation that promotes investment in the energy efficiency and
renewable energy sectors; and
