280218_Luxor-Egypt SECAP Final_revised

The GIU will support companies in different projects:
- Improving industrial processes to reduce energy consumption;
- Promoting renewable energy units on the roof tops of factories and workshops; and
- Improving production models to reduce waste generation and improve reuse and recycling.
Note: Depending on the detailed understanding of energy consumption from the industry, it will then be
possible to identify more precise actions to implement in order to reduce energy consumption in this sector.
It is also important to mobilise the industry, as some entrepreneurs could be interested in developing
knowledge and expertise to be able to offer services to other sectors in order to answer demands for
equipment or services to support the energy transition. For example, if solar heating systems are adopted in
different sectors, then it would be interesting to support the development of a local production of such
devices. This would for sure generate a positive spiral in favour of the development of a green economy in
the Governorate of Luxor.
4.2.6.4 Expected results
Assumptions:
- Awareness can lead to 20% cuts in 50% of the sector
- Specific projects could generate an additional 30% cut in 10% of the sector.

These figures are rough estimates of budget required per action for the period 2018-2020 and ROI.
Awareness to reduce consumption 30,000 € 1 to 2 years
Specific projects 1,000,000 € 3 to 4 years
4.3. Renewable energy development
Despite the availability of sun, wind, water force in the Governorate of Luxor, like in many other parts of
Egypt, renewable energy is only emerging as a source of generating electricity. People are relying on
electricity produced in utilities powered by fossil fuel and classical solution for mobility based on diesel or
gasoline. The global uptake of renewable solution should push the Governorate to explore all opportunities
available to develop new production models. Following this route, the Governorate of Luxor will reduce its
dependency on “imported energy” and spark a new economy that will create jobs and generate revenues for
local industries and people.
Solar PV
The Egyptian Government is willing to support renewable energy development and for this reason adopted
