Background

Energy efficiency and conservation (EE&C) efforts in Egypt are based on the Integrated Sustainable Energy Strategy to 2035 (ISES 2035), approved by the Supreme Energy Council (SCE) in 2016, and EE&C is considered to be an important issue in the national energy strategy.

In 2017, "National Energy Efficiency Action Plan of Egypt (2018/19-2021/22)" was approved by the government. As Energy Efficiency and Climate Change Department (EECCD) of the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy (MOERE) would be in charge of monitoring the implementation of various EE&C measures, it is an urgent issue to strengthen the administrative practical capacity of EECCD. The first is the framework and analytical ability of energy statistical data management, which is indispensable for effective policy formulation. The second is the ability to monitor and evaluate the progress of energy conservation and to compile it as an annual report. The third is to strengthen the policy-making and enforcement capabilities necessary for verifying the effectiveness of current EE&C promotion policies and systems and countermeasure technologies, and for proposing and implementing more effective and highly feasible improvement measures. Furthermore, in order for the government as a whole to strongly promote EE&C, it is expected to strengthen cooperation between government agencies.

The Overall Goal

EE&C promotion system of the government of Egypt is strengthened, and the national goal for energy saving is accomplished.

Project Purpose

In order to promote EE&C policies at the national level, such as NEEAP-II and the Egypt Oil and Gas Sector Modernization Program(OGMP), JICA T/C team will develop the capacity of government agencies necessary for system establishment for the formulation of EE&C promotion strategies and plans, data management, and expansion of the introduction of high-efficiency equipment.

Output

1. Output 1: Organizational and personal capacity for EE&C promotion of MOERE/EECCD is strengthened.
2. Output 2: Potential technology for energy efficiency is examined and promotion policy is proposed.
3. Output 3: The administrative capacity of MOP/EECD for EE&C promotion is strengthened, and EE&C promotion strategy roadmap is created.
4. Output 4: Recommendations are made for the formulation of integrated EE&C policies at the national level, and its white paper is formulated.
5. Output 5: CAPMAS publishes national energy statistics, which are referred to by other counterparts for making and monitoring EE&C promotion policies.
