| description |
Egypt has an overall low efficiency in
using energy resources to create economic wealth. Egypt is
among the most energy intensive economies in the Middle East
North Africa region as well as in the world. The Egyptian
energy intensity is almost twice as high as in some
neighboring countries like Morocco and Tunisia and four
times as high as industrialized countries like Japan and
Germany. On the sector level, most industrial processes,
equipment and consumer appliances in Egypt have 20 percent
or higher energy consumption than the best international
practices. Therefore, Egypt has a great opportunity to
improve the efficiency of its energy resource utilization
across all segments of economic activities. The objective
of this report is to take stock of the past/ongoing energy
efficiency initiatives and activities and to recommend a set
of the principal strategic actions which could be undertaken
by the Government of Egypt to promote and sustain energy
efficiency improvements. The first part of the report
presents the following topics: a brief general overview of
energy use in Egypt; an analysis of the current
institutional framework for energy efficiency; a review of
the past, ongoing and future energy efficiency activities
and programs implemented by different organizations; and an
identification of the major barriers to energy efficiency.
In the second part of the report, specific recommendations
to further improve energy efficiency in Egypt are presented,
supported by a review of some of the relevant international
best practices and lessons learned from national and
international experiences. |
