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 />
