The 7th Five-Year Plan (2012-2017):
• The Electricity Sector adopted on 20/03/2013 the 7th five-year plan
(2012-2017) for the construction of thermal power plants projects
aiming to add generation capacities of 13200 MW.
• However, during projects implementation, the Sector confronted
multiple challenges such as the rise in peak load at a high rate of 7% in
2014/2015 compared to 2013/2014, as well as the delay in
interconnecting some power plants beyond their scheduled timeline
such as Dairout and Helwan South Combined Cycle Power Plants, in
addition to the lack of natural gas supplies which necessitated
introducing some modifications to the plan to overcome these
challenges, as follows:
• Fast-Track Plan for Summer 2015:
– To meet the load demands of Summer 2015, a fast-track plan has been
implemented to add (52) gas units with a total capacity of 3636 MW at an
investment cost totaling US$ 2.7 billion, of which (20) units have been
installed and interconnected to the 66/11 KV and 66/22 KV substations to
reduce network losses.
– The fast-track plan projects have been completely implemented and
interconnected to the unified grid in a record time that helped stopping
load-shedding to customers and improving voltages during Summer 2015
and till now.
• Siemens Projects:
– Contracts have been signed with Siemens AG and its local partners for the
execution of (3) combined-cycle power plant projects at Burullus, Beni Suef
and the New Capital sites with a total installed capacity of 14400 MW and
an investment cost of US$ 6.9 billion, using the exchange rates prevailing at
time of contracting (EUR 6 billion for the plants construction in addition to
the cost of the 3 sites preparation of about EUR 65.3 million plus EGP 2
billion), through the (EPC + Finance) scheme.
– Contracting for the conversion of some gas units to combined cycle
operation without use of additional fuel, aiming at decreasing the rate of
fuel consumption and improving the operation efficiency of power plants.
– Postponing the implementation of Dairut Combined Cycle Power Plant
project with a total capacity of 2250 MW under BOO scheme to be executed
under the 9th five-year plan (2022-2027).
• Considering the foregoing, the total added capacities under
the 7th five-year plan (2012-2017) as modified reached
27’401 MW with a capital investment cost of US$ 17 Billion
implemented by the Electricity Sector and funded by soft
loans from Arab and International financing institutions in
addition to the implementation of a part of the plan under
(EPC+ Finance) scheme.
• A part of the plan projects amounting to 25’451 MW has
been operated by the end of 2018/2019.
• It is planned to operate 650 MW during the year
2019/2020.
• Another 1300 MW is targeted to be operated during the
year 2020/2021.
A Glance on Technical Achievements in 2016/2017

required to be added in the 8th five-year plan (2017/2022) to
accommodate the forecast loads, in order to satisfy the needs of the
various sectors and ensure sufficient reserve margin for programmed
maintenance works and forced outage of any of generation units, and
also to address any unit problems due to ageing or poor fuel
characteristics.
• The study revealed that no additional thermal capacities are needed
under the (2017-2022) plan.
• In light of the various scenarios for load and energy growth, a
methodology has been developed for plans of future generation
projects corresponding to load scenarios, as shown below:
Primary Priority:
• Luxor 2250 MW Combined Cycle Power Project executed by Aqua Power
on BOO basis, scheduled to operate the 1st module of 750 MW in
December 2023 and the last module of 1500 MW in July 2024.

Combined Cycle Power Plant
• The combined cycle power plant technology where a gas turbine
generator is combined with a steam turbine power plant with the
objective to increase the efficiency of electricity generation by
utilizing the output heat of the gas turbine flue gas to generate steam
in a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and therefore is used as
input heat to the steam turbine power plant to generate electricity
without any additional fuel.
• Acknowledging the importance of improving power plants efficiency

and fuel saving, EEHC started to implement combined cycle
technology more than thirty years ago by transforming the existing
gas turbine units to combined cycle and repowering old steam
turbines who still performing well to work as combined cycle as
follows:
• Developments of combined cycle technologies in the last years
(development of gas turbine blades manufacturing, the use of special
coating to bear higher gas flue temperatures, increase protection and
measurement instruments efficiency ..etc) resulted in the increase of
the installed combined cycle module capacity to reach about 750MW
)2*500MWGT+1*250MW ST), Increase of efficiency to more than
58% and availability to (90:94%).
• The EEHC plans included the addition of 17 combined cycle modules

each of 750MW with the objective that combined cycle installed
capacity reaches about 55% from the total national Grid installed
capacity by year 2018.
• Techno-economic feasibility study is underway to
overcome gas turbine units derating due to high
temperature in summer and during system peaks, by
introducing the new combined cycle technology which
enables reduction of compressed air temperature in the
gas turbine to the design temperature level (ISO) in order
to maximize the use of combined cycle capacity during
the system peak demand.
Hydro Power Plant
• Hydro power is considered one of the cheapest and cleanest sources
of power generation in Egypt, the power generation from hydro
resources started in 1960, with the construction of Aswan Dam to
control the Nile water discharge for irrigation.
• In 1967 the 2.1GW High Dam hydro power plants was commissioned,
followed by the commissioning of Aswan 2 power plant in 1985 and
in cooperation with the ministry of Water Research and Public Works;
Isna hydropower plant was commissioned in 1993 and Naga-Hamadi
in year 2008.
• The share of hydro generation to the total generation represents

about 4.8 % in 2019.

New & Renewable Energy
• In the framework of the strategic planning of power in

Egypt, the Electricity Sector’s strategy depends on
diversification of energy sources, expansion of utilizing
renewable energies, and rationalization of the use of
conventional energy sources.
• Egypt is endowed with abundant wind energy sources
especially in the Suez Gulf area which is considered one of
the best sites in the world due to its high and stable wind
speeds. The west of Suez Gulf area is considered one of the
most promising sites for construction of large wind farm
projects due to the high wind speeds ranging between 8-10
meters/second and also due to the availability of large
uninhabited desert areas which are perfectly qualified to
assimilate the future wind projects.
• In addition, there are other promising sites with average

wind speeds ranging between 7-8 meters/second in the
east and west of River Nile near Beni Suef and Menya
Governorates.
• Moreover, Egypt is one of the countries lying in the solar
belt region the most convenient for the solar energy
applications.
• Solar Atlas reveals that the average of vertical solar
radiation is between 2000-3200 KWh/m2/year and the rate
of solar rise ranges between 9-11 hours/day offering
opportunities of investment in the various solar energy
fields.

Second: Awareness of energy efficiency and conservation importance:

• The Ministry of Electricity & Renewable Energy launched a
national initiative entitled “You are the Solution” (Inta El-Hal)
supported by the Central Bank of Egypt and sponsored by
EEHC through the various media channels, street
advertisements and social media, to provide practical solutions
and suggestions that can be implemented by citizens to
rationalize electricity consumption.
• The campaign came out with positive results and imprinted a
clear impact on the behaviour of citizens.
Second: Awareness of energy efficiency and conservation importance:

• The Energy Efficiency Improvement Project, funded by the
UNDP, implemented a campaign under the slogan “Energy
Efficiency in the Card” (kafa’it el-taqa fil-betaqa) within the
geographical domain of Cairo and Giza governorates, as a first
stage, to train sellers (300 vendors) and enhance their skills in
selling high energy efficiency devices, as well as holding
awareness seminars for consumers in the two governorates to
provide information and raise awareness of the importance of
being guided by the efficiency card when making a purchase
decision. In addition, seven seminars were also held for
information and awareness at the National Center for Women,
the Egyptian Engineers’ Syndicate, Heliopolis Association, and
Maddi, Heliopolis & Shooting Sporting Clubs, as well as Al-
Jazeera Youth Center.
Third: EE specifications & card program for household appliances:

• The Egyptian Minimum EE Performance Standards (MEPS)
have been issued for dish washers, fans of all types, television
sets, electric ovens and vacuum cleaners, and establishment
of energy testing laboratories in collaboration between the

Rate structure
• Public utilities are monopolies, i.e., they have the
exclusive right to sell their product in a given area.
• Their rate are subject to government regulation.
• The total revenue which a utility may be authorized to

collect through the sales of its services should be equal
to the company’s total cost of service. Therefore
Revenue requirements = operating expenses +

depreciation expenses + taxes + (rate base* rate of
return)
Rate structure
• The determination of the revenue requirements is a
matter of regulatory commission decision.
• Therefore, designing schedules of rates which will

produce the revenue requirement is a management
responsibility subject to commission review.
• However, a regulatory commission cannot guarantee a

specific rate of earnings; it can only declare a public
utility has been given the opportunity to try to earn it.
Rate structure
• The rate of return is partly a function of local conditions
and should correspond with the return being earned by
comparable companies with similar risks.
• It should be sufficient to permit the utility to maintain

its credit and attract the capital required to perform its
task.
• However, the rate schedules, by law, should avoid

unjust and unreasonable discriminations, i.e., customers
using the utility service under similar conditions should
be billed at similar prices.
Customer billing
• Customer billing is done by taking the difference in
readings of the meter at two successive times, usually
at an interval of 1 month.
• The difference in readings indicates the amount of

electricity, in kWh, consumed by the customer in that
period.
• This amount is multiplied by the appropriate rate or the

series of rates and the adjustment factors, and the bell
is sent to the customer.
Customer billing
• In Egypt, the monthly bill includes the following items:
1. The customer’s account number
2. Number of accounting months
3. Date on which the billing period ended
4. Number of previous kWh the customer’s meter registered the
last month
5. Number of kWh the customer’s meter registered when the bill
was tabulated
6. Number of kWh the customer consumes during the billing
period
7. State sales taxes
8. Cleanness fee
9. Amount due
ELECTICITY TARRIF STRUCTURE IN EGYPT
• Fairly complex, especially for large industrial users.
• Rate structures for residential, small and large industrial

customers now are discussed.
• Electricity tariffs are designed to recover:

the cost to the utility of both providing the equipment to
generate the electricity, and operating the equipment.
• The first category of charges is called “fixed charges”, because

these charges help the utility to recover the costs associated with
providing the installed generating equipment.
• The charges imposed by the utility to recover these costs are generally
built into the charges for peak demand and power factor.
• Demand is a measure of the rate of energy consumption.
• The higher the demand, the greater the electricity generating capacity
required to supply that demand.
• Demand is measured in units of watts.
• Demand interval is the period over which the load is averaged.
• Consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours and can be considered

to be the integral of the instantaneous demand over time.
• A useful analogy is a trip in an automobile.
• Demand is analogous to the rate of travel or speed, in

kilometers per hour. The faster the automobile travels, the higher
the speed.
• Consumption is analogous to the total distance covered during

the trip.
• A car traveling at a high rate of speed (a consumer with a high

electricity demand) will cover a given distance (consume a given
number of kilowatt-hours of electricity) in a shorter period of
time than a car traveling at a lower rate of speed (a consumer
with a lower electricity demand).
• Demand charges are generally based on either an actual
measured peak demand or a contracted peak demand.
• The utility must provide the generating, transmission, and

distribution equipment capacity to meet a user’s peak
electric demand, even if that maximum electric demand
occurs for only a short period of time.
• Hence, the consumer can bear substantial costs for a short

duration of high electricity demand.
• In addition, because the demand charges are based on the higher of
contract peak demand or actual measured peak demand, the consumer
who contracts for a significantly higher peak demand than actually
required will also bear significantly higher electricity costs.
• The second category of charges is sometimes called “variable charges”

because these charges help the utility recover their costs of operating
the equipment (e.g., labor, fuel, taxes, and other costs of operation).
• The cost of operation depends on the amount of electricity generated.
• These costs are recovered in the kilowatt-hour charges

TARRIF STRUCTURE IN EGYPT
• 1. Residential Tariff Structures
• Charges are easy to compute.
• The residential tariff is based strictly on kWh consumption.
• The tariff consists of a number of rate blocks; discrete levels of

consumption during which different unit charges for electricity
apply.
• It has a large no. of rate blocks, there are a total of 6 rate blocks.
• The tariff is designed and the charges are based on total monthly
electricity consumption (no charge for peak demand).
• The tariff is shown in the table below (Power factor is assumed

0.9).
Table 1a Residential Tariff Structure for houses (12/2012)

2. SMALL INDUSTRIAL TARIFF STRUCTURS
• Small industrial tariff structures are applied to consumers with

less than 500 kW connected Load.
• There are two separate tariff structures for consumers falling

into this category
• The small industries tariff includes private sector industrial,

agricultural, land reclamation, and other customers.
• The structure is shown Tables 2 and 3.

Annual Electricity Consumption
First 70,000 kWh L.E 0.0737

(0 to 70,000 kWh)
Next 100,000 kWh L.E 0.0602

(70,000 to 170,000 kWh)
Additional kWh L.E 0.0573

(over 170,000 kWh)
Table 2

(0 to 70,000) kWh)
Next 100,000 kWh L.E 0.1385
(70.001 to 170,000 kWh)
Additional kWh L.E 0.1319

(over 170,000 kWh)
Table 3
Small industrial Electricity Tariff (less Than 500 kW}:
All Other Customers
• This tariff schedule is similar to the residential tariff structure.
• As with the residential tariff, the small industrial tariff is based

only on electricity consumption (kWh), and there is no explicit
charge for peak demand.
• This tariff is also broken down into a number of discrete rate

blocks.
• There are a number of differences between this tariff and the

residential tariff.
• First, the number of rate blocks in the small industrial tariff
is much reduced, compared to the residential tariff.
• Second, the small industrial tariff is a regressive tariff

structure: as the amount of consumption increases, the
average cost for a kilowatt-hour of electricity will decrease.
• Finally, the small industrial tariff structure is based on

annual consumption, not monthly consumption, as is the
residential rate.
3 LARGE INDUSTRIAL TARIFF STRUCTURE
• Applied to large industrial customers (demand equal to or larger than
500 kW) is the most complex of Egypt’s utility rate structure.
• Actually, two separate rate structure are applied to this class of

customers: a rate for lighting service and a rate for motive power.
3.1 INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING SERVICE

• Similar to those for small industrial use: charges are based on annual
kilowatt- hour consumption only, with no explicit demand charge.
• However, unlike the small industrial rate , which is regressive (the

greater the consumption the lower the rate), the lighting tariff is
progressive (the greater the consumption, the higher the rate)
• The rate is split into a number of rate blocks as illustrated in table 4

Table 4
Large Industrial Customer (500 kW or more) Lighting Service Tariff
Annual Electricity Consumption Cost per kWh
Next 100 kWh (101 to 200 kWh) LE 0.054
Next 150 kWh (201 to 350 kWh) LE 0.088
Next 150 kWh (351 to 500 kWh) LE 0.110
Next 500 kWh (501 to 1000 kWh) LE 0.130
Next 1000 kWh (1001 to 2000 kWh) LE 0.155
Next 2000 kWh (2001 to 4000 kWh) LE 0.165
Additional kWh (over 4000 kWh)) LE 0.180
•This rate structure is used to compute annual lighting service charges

in exactly the same way as the small industrial rate structure is used.
• 3.2 Industrial Motive Power Tariff
• The large industrial motive power tariff applies to three

major classes of customers:
public sector industries,
national private sector industries,
investment sector companies.
 The tariff is based on three elements: annual demand

charge, annual consumption charge, and annual power
factor charge.
 In addition, for private and investment sector companies, a

fuel adjustment charge may be added.
 Each of these charges is discussed .

(i) Annual Demand Charge
• The electric demand charge is based on the highest of

one of three demands:
• the contracted power in kW,
• the contracted power in kVA times 0.9, and
• the actual recorded power in kW.
• The annual cost per kW of demand is currently LE 82.1.
• Hence, the highest of the three demands times LE 82.1

yields the annual demand charge.
(ii) Annual Consumption Charge
• The consumption charge is based on annual kilowatt-hours
of electricity used.
• The tariff is set up into a floating rate block structure.
• The number of kilowatt-hours in each rate block depends

on the contract demand of the consumer.
• The consumption tariff schedule is illustrated in Table 5.

Annual Electricity Consumption Cost per kWh
First 1000 hours time demand LE 0.1471
Next 500 hours time demand LE 0.1384
Additional kWh LE 0.0673
Table 5
Large Industrial Customer (500 kW or more)
Motive Power Electricity Consumption Tariff
Impact of Contract Demand on Annual Consumption &
Demand Charges
• Both the demand charge and the consumption charge are
heavily dependent on the billing demand.
• If the billing demand is very much in excess of the actual

measured peak demand, it is possible that the demand and
consumption charges are excessively high.
• This is often the case in Egypt, where the contract demand

is negotiated with a mind towards future facility expansion.
• A renegotiation of contract demand to a level closer to actual

maximum demand can result in substantial savings.
(iii) Annual Power Factor Penalty
• The final element of the industrial tariff is the cost of the power
factor penalty.
• This penalty is applied when the measured power factor is less

than 0.9, and is based on the kilowatt-hour consumption and
average cost per kilowatt-hour.
• A poor power factor can be easily increased to 0.90 or above,

thereby eliminating the annual power factor penalty charge.
• The power factor penalty depends on how much the measured

power factor is below 0.9.
• When the power factor is less than 0.9 but higher than 0.6,
the penalty is computed according to the following formula:
Penalty = [(0.9 - P.F.)/2] x yearly kwh x avg LE / kWh
• When power factor is equal to or less than 0.6 but greater

than 0.4 the penalty is effectively doubled and computed
according to the following formula:
Penalty = [0.9 - P.F.] x yearly kwh x avg LE / kWh
• When the power factor is 0.4 or less the electricity

distribution company can refuse to provide electric service to
the consumer.
(iv) Annual Fuel Adjustment Charge
• For private and investment sector companies, a fuel adjustment

charge is added monthly to the bill.
• This charge is a fixed rate per kwh of consumption.
• Its primary purpose is to compensate for differences in the quantities

and the prices of petroleum fuels that are used for electricity
generation.
• Unfortunately, the fuel adjustment charge cannot be known in

advance, and therefore cannot be used accurately in budgeting
energy costs or calculating paybacks of energy-savings measures.
• It can vary from month to month, and has been quite significant in the
past.
• During the early part of 1990, e.g., the fuel adjustment charge was as
high as LE 0.10/kwh (nearly double the actual tariff charges for
consumption.
• This means that nearly two-thirds of the cost of electricity was the fuel
adjustment charge.
• In several months of late 1990, however, the fuel adjustment charge

was nil.
• The fuel adjustment charge is not applied to public- sector companies.

4 PROJECTS IN THE FREE ZONE AREAS
• Tariffs for industries in the Free Zone areas are quite simple; they are
made up of a demand charge and a flat rate consumption charge.
• The demand charge is as defined in section 3.2 ; it is an annual charge

based on the maximum of the contracted kW (or 0.9 times contracted
kVA) and the actual recorded kW.
• Charges and rates are based primarily on voltage; note that they
increase significantly for lower-voltage supply .
• The tariff are summarized as follows:

Consider two residential consumers. One consumer’s
uses 275KWh in a month and the other uses only
175. What are the total electricity charges and what
is the average cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity
consumed for each? Comment on the results.
Sheet 1
2)1st consumer: 275KWh monthly
Total electricity charges = 100*.022 +100*.035 +

Total electricity charges = 100*.022 +75*.035 =
4.825L.E./month
Average cost=4.825/175=0.0276L.E./KWh
• The residential tariff is a progressive tariff as:

(Average cost)1 > (Average cost)2
i.e. if the amount of consumption increases, the
average cost increases

Consider two small private sector industrial consumers. One
consumer uses 275,000 kWh in a year and the other uses
only 125,000. What are the total electricity charges and
what is the average cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity
consumed for each?
Sheet 1
3)1st consumer: 275,000 KWh yearly
Total electricity charges = 70*103*0.0737 +
100*103*0.0602 + 105*103*0.0573 = 17195.5 L.E./year
Average cost = 17195.5/275000= 0.0625L.E./KWh
2nd consumer: 125,000 KWh yearly

Total electricity charges = 70*103*0.0737 + 55*103*0.0602
= 8470 L.E./year
Average cost= 8470/125000= 0.0678 L.E./KWh
• The residential tariff is a regressive tariff as:

(Average cost)1 < (Average cost)2
i.e. if the amount of consumption increases, the

average cost decreases

An industrial user has a contract demand of 8333 KVA and a
maximum recorded peak demand of 5200 kW. What is the
annual demand charge for the consumer?
• The contract demand times 0.9 is 7500 kW. This is higher than the
maximum recorded demand of 5200 kW.
• Hence, the annual demand charge is based on 7500 kW.
The actual charge is LE 82.1 / kW/yr x 7500 kW= LE 615,750/ yr

For the industrial user in the previous example, the electricity
consumption is 35,000,000 kWh per year. What is the amount of
the power factor penalty if the power factor is 0.55 and 0.75?
As previously determined, total cost for consumption is LE 3,994,750/yr.
The average cost per kWh is 3,994,750 / 35,000,000 = L.E 0.1141/kWh.

• For a 0.55 power factor, the penalty is computed as:
[0.9 - P.F] x yearly kWh x avg LE/kWh

[0.9 - 0.55] x 35,000,000 x 0.1141
•The power factor penalty at 0.55 PF is LE 1,397,725 per year. This penalty
can be eliminated if the power factor is increased to 0.9 or above through
the installation of capacitors.
• At a 0.75 power factor, the penalty is computed as:
[(0.9 - P.F.)/2] x yearly kWh x avg LE/kWh

[(0.9 - 0.75)/2] x 35,000,000 x 0.1141
• The power factor penalty at 0.75 PF is LE 299,513 per year. This penalty
can be eliminated if the power factor is increased to 0.90 or above through
the installation of capacitors.
Sheet 1
7)
For the industrial user in the previous example, the contract
demand is 7500 kW. What would be the savings by renegotiating
the contract demand to 6500 kW? What would be the savings by
renegotiating the contract demand to 5400 kW?
• At 7500 kW contract demand and 35,000,000 kWh consumption, from the

previous examples, the total consumption charges are LE 3,994,750
• At 6500 kW, and 35,000,000 kilowatt-hours of annual consumption, the

annual consumption charge would be as follows:
At 6500 kW
First 1,000 hr x 6,500 kW = 6,500,000 kWh @L.E 0.1471= L.E 956,150
Next 500 hr x 6,500 kW = 3,250,000 kWh @L.E 0.1384= L.E 449,800
Next 1,000 hr x 6,500 kW = 6,500,000 kWh @L.E 0.1207= L.E 784,550
Extra 2,500,000 kWh @L.E 0.0673= L.E 168,250
TOTAL L.E 3,801,100
The demand charge is 6500 kW x LE 82.1 /kW = LE 533,650 per year.

The total consumption charge at 6500 kW contract demand is LE 3,801,100
which is LE 193,650 lower than that at a contract demand of 7500 kW.
At 5400 kW
First 1,000 hr x 5,400 kW = 5,400 ,000 kWh @L.E 0.1471= L.E 794,340
Next 500 hr x 5,400 kW = 2,700,000 kWh @L.E 0.1384= L.E 373,680
Next 1,000 hr x 5,400 kW = 5,400 ,000 kWh @L.E 0.1207= L.E 651,780
Next 1,000 hr x 5,400 kW = 5,400 ,000 kWh @L.E 0.1037= L.E 559,980
Extra 8,000,000 kWh @L.E 0.0673= L.E 538,400
TOTAL L.E 3,556,460
The demand charge is 5400 kW x LE 82.1 /kW = LE 443,340 per year.

The total charge at 5400 kW contract demand is LE 3,556,460 which is almost
LE 438,290 lower than that at a contract demand of 7500 kW.
