1. General presentation<br />
Title: ENERGY SUPPLY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT<br />
# 6<br />
Summary of the Action<br />
Current Status: Renewable Energy Development – Governorate of the Red Sea<br />
Renewable energies (RE) in the Governorate of the Red Sea are key to addressing all<br />
sectors that consume fossil fuels and emit GHG. Solar radiation is abundant in the<br />
Governorate, especially in the southern part. It is characterised as one of the highest in<br />
the country and the world (more than 2800 kWh/m 2 /year of direct solar radiation with<br />
about 12 hours of sunshine per day. The coastal area of the Governorate of the Red Sea<br />
is also known for its high wind speed (more than 10 m/sec) offering high potential for<br />
generating electricity from wind. Currently the New and Renewable Energy Authority<br />
(NREA) registers about 500 MW of wind power capacity in operation and 1340 MW under<br />
development.<br />
Many projects in the solar electricity production are already running under MoERE - NREA<br />
and international agencies in Egypt (JICA, AFD, kfW & WB) partnerships in the Red Sea.<br />
These projects represent 1210 MW capacity (730 MW installed & 480 MW under<br />
installation):<br />
