1.3.2.1 Residential buildings
In the city Hurghada, 60% of buildings are connected to the natural gas grid (Governorate of Red Sea). Thus 54,455
Residential buildings, 72 commercial buildings and 38 hotels consume natural gas, with data regarding natural gas
consumption amounting to 8,000,000 Cubic meters (87 GWh/year). The natural gas grid is still under development and
designed to reach a connection rate of 80% by the end of 2017. Therefore, consumption of natural gas is estimated
using the Hurghada ratio of natural gas consumption per building. Electricity consumption and natural gas consumption
are provided by the Governorate of Red Sea (Supply and Internal Trade Directorate).
No data about Solar Energy consumption has been collected, this issue was discussed with the Governorate of Red Sea
Coordinator and this energy source is marginal in residential buildings. Thus, no solar consumption is considered in the
BEI for residential buildings.
The Governorate’s services provided the annual consumption per energy source:
Value provided Method Final value
Electricity
257,782 MWh/y
257 GWh/y
Natural gas 8,000,000 m 3 Consistent value
87 GWh/y
Liquid gas 494,026 cylinder 96 GWh/y
Gasoline 480 litres/y 4 MWh/y
Solar energy Not provided Marginal consumption 0 GWh/y
*Refrigerant leakages of residential buildings have not been considered in the BEI.
1.3.2.2 Tertiary buildings and Public lighting
Tertiary buildings are considered in two different categories: buildings owned and managed by the Governorate and
other buildings (shops, offices, public administration buildings - different from Governorate ones, hotels, restaurants,
banks and other service industries, health centres and hospitals, sport or cultural facilities, and leisure equipment’s,
etc.). Public lighting is considered on its own, as it can be subject of specific action. The energy consumption for public
buildings and public lighting has been provided by Governorate services. However, noting that public lighting
consumption is high due to all night lighting of tourist amusement, leisure activities and commercial streets.
Consumption
All Governorate’s buildings in the City of Hurghada
Street lighting
2,604 MWh/year
10,984 MWh/year
For other tertiary buildings (except Hotels, which are considered to be in the tourism sector), consumption was directly
provided for electricity. For LPG, a ratio was applied considering the governorate generic data for energy consumption
in “other use”.
Value provided Method Final value
Electricity 273,510 MWh/y Primary data 273,510 MWh/y
Liquid gas 70,680 Cylinders Ratio from “other use” 29,347 MWh/y
