280218_Luxor-Egypt SECAP Final_revised

Successful projects in national and foreign municipalities, notably in municipalities that are members of the
Covenant of Mayors (CoM).
6. Assumptions and risks
- Considering the time to change the mind set of building users which may take time,
- It will take a smart concept to engage the public in collective actions that will generate individual
benefits (saving money from their own budget through reduced energy and water consumption) as well
as global impact (reducing dependency on imported oil and mitigating climate change, etc.),
- The main constraints of such a plan will be the mobilisation of appropriate resources to fund renovation
programmes, as in many cases house owners will not have the fund to invest at the appropriate level. This
is why such a programme requires a partnership between the Governorate (Municipality) offering the
guarantee that retrofitting will result in actual energy bill reduction, and the bank providing the funds or
with MoERE and NREA to promote GRP, mainly EE measures, LED lamps and SWHs, and
- The absence of a maintenance plan could reduce the efficiency of the installed SWH systems, thus it is
vital to ensure good performance of SWH.
7. Key success factors
• The Governor’s vision for promoting Sustainable Energy (RE and EE) in the city Luxor and Governor of
Luxor to be Green city is of a vital success factor,
• The Governor of Luxor determination to seriously act on the energy issue in this sector, is obviously a
vital element to the success of this action success,
• The approach and development of GRP to be part of the Governorates’ vision and strategy, hence would
assist in reducing the annual consumption of non-clean energy and in greening the city,
• Cost of new energy tariff means that any saving will be a significant value and great savings,
• The action plan is divided in two phases to make the investment visible and implementation easier,
• Raised capacity of Governorate staff for implementation would assist in smoothly be an added value,
• Any reduction in the usage of fossil fuels will be great success due to its huge usage annually, and
• Organize a proper maintenance system in order to ensure adequate flow of hot water from the SWH
systems, yields securing interesting enough Return on Investment (R.o.I.),
