Egyptian Electric Utility and Consumer Protection Regulatory Agency
Objectives: Regulates and supervises all electricity activities including:
generation, transmission, distribution and supply. Ensures availability of supply to all forms of usage at the
most equitable prices and considers environmental issues Ensures fair competition, transparency and
nondiscrimination Protect Consumers within a scope of a balanced relation
with the service providers

Status and Challenges of Power Sector in Egypt
Egypt has successfully managed to secure electricity supply to 99.03% of its population
The electrical peak demand increased by an average of 7% over the last decade, it increased by more than 12% in the year 2007/2008 and 10.3% in the year 2011/2012.
The peak demand has reached 27700 MW in August 2014. To meet the increase in demand an average annual expansion in
generation and transmission as well as distribution of 2500 MW is needed over the next 20 years.
The potential for adding more hydro-generation is limited. In 2011/2012 Installed renewable sources (mainly wind) has reached
545 MW and 140 MW Solar/Thermal (20 MW Solar) representing less than 2% of the installed capacity and generated energy from these sources represents only 1% of the electrical energy generated.
Electricity purchased from self generation and cogeneration units in industry in 2011/2012 represents only 0.07% of the total electrical energy generated.
In 2012/2013 subsidy has reached EGP 28 Billion

Bases for Tariff Reform Program
EgyptERA has developed the cost of service for all activities including generation, transmission and distribution over the last seven years
Over this period this report has been enhance with the support of several international consultant.
A draft proposal for the tariff reform has been developed in 2012.
An advanced study was developed in 2014 for tariff reform

Component of the tariff reform study
The reform plan included:Assessment of the financial indicators of the electricity
companies.Assessment of the current tariff structure and its values
base on the cost of service study.Criteria fro tariff reformAffordability study for residential sectorProposed new tariff structure and values over five year
programEffect of fuel prices on tariff reform programCommunication plan for tariff reform
EgyptEraCriteria Considered Tariff Reform Program
•Elimination of sub – classification per each supply voltage as well as cross subsidy (i.e. energy intensive, glass and ceramics, industrial, others, special customers,…etc.)•All customers other than Residential customers and special cases should pay their economical cost in 3 years•Tariff to these customers shall address the impact of the customer on the system, therefore the tariff will include capacity charge, energy charge, supply charge and TOU components.•Utility consumers such as transportation, irrigation and and water treatment during an interim phase will benefit from fuel subsidy offered by the government.•As economical prices is achieved tariff will be amended base on changes in cost of supply as well as incentive regulation scheme
EgyptEra
Criteria For Tariff Reform Program(CONTD.)
For residential sector the target is to reduce the number of blocks into four blocks including blocks for; Poor, low income , break even block, block at the system marginal cost ( i.e. cost of renewable)
The subsidized blocks will be size based on the first and second poverty lines which are 25% and up to 40% respectively. of the total population (according to the frequency distribution this will be in the order of 100 kWh and 200 kWh per month)
The subsidized block will benefit from the fuel subsidy offered by the government.
The other two blocks will not benefit from the subsidized block . Program evolution will be tuned according to the affordability
assessment
EgyptEra
Base on the developed study the Cabinet has approved a five years plan for tariff reform to be completed in 2018/2019 by which subsidy will be fully lifted.
The plan was announced in the first of July 2014 and published in the official gazette.

Impact of Fuel Prices on Electricity Generation Cost
Fuel is currently supplied to the power sector at different PricesLocal gas supply 3 US$/MMBTU (Currently represent around 70%)Local Heavy Fuel 8.7 US$/MMBTU (Currently represents around 30%)Imported gas N.A. (expected range between 12-17 US$/MMBTU) (will be around 10% as the current deficit)
Fuel Cost US$/MMBTU Cost of kWh (pt/kWh) ($c/kWh)*
Cost of Fuel per kWh (pt/kWh) ($c/kWh)*

15 99.9 13.97 86.8 12.14
* 1 US$ =7.15 L.E
EgyptEraFeasibility of RE in Egypt
Almost one third of Electricity generated in Egypt uses fuel at a cost equal and above 9 US$.MMBTU This is equivalent to 50 TWh/ year
10-15% of this has as fuel cost above 12 US$/MMBTU, this is not less than 15 TWh/year
The equivalent cost per kWh is 9.11 $c which has a fuel cost of 7.25 $/kWh, this may go up to 11.5 $c/kWh and 9.96 $/kWh for fuel cost at 12 US$/MMBTU.
Considering Re source where cost of wind energy varied between 7-11 $c/kWh and solar energy which can varies fro 11-18 $/kWh there will be potential for RE to be applied for at least 30% of electricity generated in Egypt in 2014. This will be much higher in the future.

TRADABLE GUARANTEE OF ORIGIN CERTIFICATES (TGOC)
In this approach unbundling is carried out between electricity generation for a production device and its attribute as renewable.
Electricity generation will be traded as just electricity, yet its renewable attribute will be traded through TGOC.
The owner of the GOC is the owner renewable attribute. This system is similar to the Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM), however the TGOC should express the premium cost for renewable energy above the cost of generating electricity from conventional sources

EgyptEraELECTRICITY MARKET REFORM
Main Objectives•maintain electricity system reliability under conditions of high growth increase of demand, thus facilitating significant generation and network capacity additions to the system in order to meet the needs;•gradual enhancement of procedures and functions promoting competition within electricity market in a way that creates a fair and attractive investment environment for new comers in electricity generation and trading.
EgyptEraMARKET STRUCTURE
EgyptEra WHY MARKET SEGMENTATION?
Need to maintain favorable economic conditions, which may not comply with cost reflectiveness, for parts of the consumption due to social and economic policies
Have also to protect fair competition conditions and real market operation for all eligible customers
Create project viability conditions for private investors, who take decisions under long-term horizon and pure techno-economic criteria
Re-organize institutions and functions within the existing system, capable to operate efficiently

The power sector in Egypt Faces several challenges Reforms are taking place in different areas to
liberalize the market, attract private investment, develop Re market and Tariff reform
Other area of interest include improve fuel to power efficiency as well as coordination, smart meter program, DSM/EE, Improve transparency and improve system security
Although the challenge is huge the potential is substantial
