Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy
Vision and Actions
Very similar to the National Energy Strategy Diversified power supply to meet energy demands and exploit the country’s resources potential
Financially and socially sustainable electricity sector
Roles of all public and private actors clearly defined with all institutions held accountable for performance
Opportunities: • Over $ 70 billion of public and private investments
over 2015- 2022 to provide 54 GW of new power generation projects (coal, oil, gas, and renewables)
• Efficiency upgrades to existing thermal generation • Power transmission/distribution infrastructure • Demand-side energy efficiency
Consider! • 1/3 of thermal capacity is > 20 years • Power plants availability & efficiency rates 5-8%
below benchmarks • 5% losses in transmission and distributions • Limited integration to regional energy markets

Egypt National Energy Strategy 2035
To meet the increasing demand for energy, a resilient and diversified supply chain should be built which will optimise the use of the natural resources of Egypt and import are prudent;
Energy security of
supply
Sector institutions to be financially independent and self-sustaining through competition and efficiency;
Long term sustainability of the energy
system
The roles of all public and private participants in the energy system should be clearly defined and understood, natural monopolies should be held accountable for performance; energy markets should be fair, accessible and transparent.
Good Governance
Principles and Modernization
Different proposed scenarios, including a 35% RE electricity production by 2035 and 15% coal, following the current official target is 20% RE by 2020.

Mobilizing Private RE Financing: Sources
Government Balance Sheet Financing
Typically resorts mainly to non-commercial sources including concessional finance • Central Bank • Multilateral • Bilateral • Islamic finance
Concerns • Financing-debt burden • Management inefficiencies • Transparency and sustainability of
commitment
Off-Balance sheet finance (Non-Utility Generators, NUGs)
Resorts to a certain extent on private equity financing (Ownership) for privately held facilities (BOO, BoT, BLT, etc.), industry, corporations, co-operatives , etc. - IPPs - PPPs - Others ..
Concerns • Management (ownership) change • Contractual process • Financing access • Retroactive regulatory actions (reforms!)
Experiences in framework conditions for oil and gas
exploration and production are useful

Mobilizing Private RE Financing: Linkages
Production Transmission (bottle neck in many cases!!)
Distribution (readiness for
prosumers concept!!)
Collection and tariffs

• Many of the RE technologies are still in an early stage of commercialisation in the region.
• policies and incentives are adopted to mitigate risks for investors and lenders associated with deployment of renewable energy projects.
Mobilizing Private RE Investments: Risks
Financial (access to capital, collaterals, )
Market (cost and quality of components
and services, tariff, purchaser insolvency ..)
RE-resource (lower wind/solar energy
available)
Geopolitical and regulatory (policy change, subsidy,
retroactive measures)
Business viability (technological
obsoleteness and competition)
Environmental (damage to
environment)
Building and testing (property damage
and third party liability)

• The preferred policy option for utility scale projects in the region is the public competitive bidding by IPPs.
• The adoption of feed-in tariffs schemes and direct proposal submission are also gaining momentum for the development of large-scale RE projects in some countries.
• FiT and net metering are emerging for decentralized RE systems.

Developers are running a cost race! • The auction of the 2nd phase of UAE’s Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park resulted
in a price of $0.0585/kWh while its third phase was awarded the lowest bid of $0.024/kWh.
• For wind power, Egypt’s 250 MW Gulf of El Zayt wind project, currently under negotiation, received a price of about $0.04/kWh,
• Morocco secured average bids of just $0.03/kWh from its tender for 850 MW large-scale wind energy projects, with the lowest tariff at around $0.025/ kWh.
Those prices are possible because of the region’s remarkable solar and wind energy resources, backed by some concessional finance coupled with policy measures to reduce the various risks and encourage investment.
IPP Competitive Bidding
![Page 33: The Future of Egypt’s Energy Policies after COP22The Future of Egypt’s Energy Policies after COP22 ... national RE planning, ... Egypt’s 250 MW Gulf of El Zayt wind project,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051508/5a80fd367f8b9ada388cb51b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Some important factors to create compelling economic and financial case!
• Political commitment. Investors’ confidence in the national market.
• Effective engagement (partnership) of utilities and state-backed private RE companies (equity)
• Clear set of bankable project contractual documents and efficient admin./licensing processes.
• PPA in foreign currency and/or local currency (actual and deemed) . Tenor (20-25 years)
• Project support (grid connection, zoning/allocation of land, fiscal incentives, concessional finance)
• Securities (senior creditor claims are covered in all termination events)
• Credit support through the government for off-takers
IPP Competitive Bidding

34
• Pre-defined FiT rates were adopted in Egypt, Algeria and the State of Palestine.
• In some cases projects failed to reach the financial closure under FiT due to a host of reasons: • readiness of associated documents such as the PPA, Grid Connection
Agreement, Land Usufruct Agreement, Direct Agreement, etc.
• clarity of the administrative process and the large number of entities involved
• securing foreign currency lending and arbitration have been reported as subject of long discussion
IPP FiTs

Direct Proposals Submission
• Egypt, Jordan and Palestine are the only countries that allow direct proposal submission for EPCs (+finance) and IPPs PPAs.
• In Jordan, three rounds of direct proposals have been launched. Where substantial progress has been achieved due to this scheme.
• Direct proposals usually put greater responsibility upon the developer to find a suitable site for deployment.

Net Metering
• Six countries, (Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, UAE and to some extent Morocco) have adopted net metering policies. However, only few of them have implemented it in practice
• The implemented schemes are all very different and are targeting various categories of prosumers
• Jordan and Tunisia have relatively simple schemes that have attracted smaller system investors
• Common for all schemes is that they limit the allowed capacity, by either stating it in the policy (in the case of Jordan and Tunisia), or through the design of the billing mechanism, which does not make it profitable to install a system that covers more than part of your own consumption (in the case of Egypt)
