producing solar heater in small workshops, stimulating the economy and creating jobs.
The role of the Governorate would be to promote the technology, develop show vase projects in its own
building, value initial investment and reward the most remarkable realisations.
Biogas
As previously mentioned, there is a huge potential in agricultural by products and organic waste to be
processed in bio-digesters. The Governorate of Luxor should command a comprehensive study to explore
the benefit of such a technology in the surrounding of the City. This study would be the basis to recommend
the most appropriate set up: number of units and size; bio-waste collection system; energy production
expected and recommended use (heat, electricity or fuel for vehicles).
Such a pre-study would require an investment of 20.000 Euro that would be necessary before entering the
detailed conception phase.
Hydro along the Nile River
The Nile River is a very powerful asset to produce energy. Modern technologies testes in various part of the
world now propose to install turbines in the flow of a river. The turbine fixed underneath a floating platform
doesn’t require any specific infrastructure that would affect the flow of the river.
It would be very interesting to check if this technology could be adapted in Luxor, for example with a barge
equipped with such hydro turbine close to the bridge connecting Western and Eastern banks.
Such hydro turbine would produce electricity that could nicely combine with solar, as the Nile River doesn’t
stop at night when solar PV will not be active anymore.
A 20.000 Euro prefeasibility study could give enough information to decide if the Governorate of Luxor
should proceed with this technology or not.
Expected results
Energy in MWh/year Situation in 2014 Cut expected in 2020 Situation in 2020
GHG in tCO2eq/year
Electricity* GHG Energy GHG GHG (BAU) Cut/BAU
Renewable energy production + 56,000 - 24,850 2,319,373 11 %
Solar PV public buildings (750 MWc) + 12,000 - 5,325
Solar PV households & private (750MWc) + 12,000 - 5,325
Solar power plant 2000MWc (Tera Sola) +32,000 - 14,200
Other technologies will require further investigation before assessing production potential.
4.3.5.1 Budget
These figures are rough estimates of budget required per action for the period 2018-2020 and ROI.
Solar PV public buildings (750 MWc) Rolling fund for 7.5 MWc* 10,000,000 € 4 to 5 years
Solar PV households & private (750MWc) Rolling fund for 7.5 MWc* 10,000,000 € 4 to 5 years
Solar power plant 2000MWc (Tera Sola)
Not relevant (outside SECAP funding)
The 10 m€ rolling fund allow to install 7.5MWc that will produce 57 MWh/year offering a 4 to 5 years ROI (providing the feed
in tariff remains at the same value 102 piastre/KWh).
