4.1.1.4 Expected results
Assumptions:
- Staff awareness will result in 10% reduction of all consumption due to behavioural changes. This level of
reduction doesn’t appear to be hard to achieve, as there is currently no precaution at all to avoid
unnecessary electricity usage.
- Working on lighting will cut electricity consumption by 30% of this sector (20% of total electricity).
- Efficient AC devices will cut electricity consumption by 30 % of this sector (70% of total electricity).

All Governorate municipal buildings 2,613 1,429 - 965 - 529 3,371 16 %
Staff awareness campaign (10% cut) - 261 - 143
Switch to LED lighting and sensor systems in
buildings (30% cut)
- 156 - 86
Switching efficient AC devices (30% cut) - 548 - 300
Note: Impact of long-term measures can only be assessed based on average ratio unless the Governorate defines
the level of investment it is prepared to allocate to this topic.
4.1.1.5 Budget
These figures are rough estimates of budget required per action for the period 2018-2020 and ROI.
Note that such investment can be made in the first years of the plan to highlight the demonstrative role of Governorate’s
buildings and services.
Staff awareness campaign (10% cut) 30,000 € 3.5 years
Switch to LED lighting and sensor systems in buildings (30% cut) 100,000 € 6 years
Switching to more efficient AC devices (30% cut) 150,000 € 7 years
4.1.2. Street lighting
4.1.2.1 Current status
Public lighting alone consumes 10,984 MWh/y (11GWh FE/yr), less than 1% of the total energy consumption of the city
and is responsible for 6,019 Tons eqCO2/y (0.6% of the total city GHG emissions). This service costs more than 8.1
million EGP per year (394 K€).
Significant efforts have already been made to switch to LED efficient device (more than 30,000 lamps each of 100W) are
in service in the main streets of the city of Hurghada. However, the City still needs a comprehensive plan to significantly
reduce its electricity consumption for public lighting.
4.1.2.2 Long term action plan (5- to 15-year time frame)
Revolving fund to replace old lamps
Informed by the experiments performed in different cities in the Mediterranean region, replacement of old lamps by
modern technologies (LED) appears to be very cost effective. The City of Hurghada already started such a switch, but
further efforts need to be developed.
