Summary of the Action
Current Status – Governorate Buildings in the city of Hurghada – Red Sea
The Governorate of the Red Sea – City of Hurghada (municipality) owns many
municipal buildings representing a total of 60,000 square meters in addition to
349,000 square meters of education buildings.

• 330,000 square meters of 66 schools, and
• 19,000 square meters College of Education – a higher education
institution.
These Governorate’s buildings only (60,000 square meters) represent a
potential 55,000 square meters of roofs to be equipped with solar PV to
generate electricity. The Governorate already took early steps in this direction
by installing 100 solar panels on the roof of its main building with a production
capacity of 25 kWp.
