Solar Opportunities for Egypt
El Nasr Pilot Steam Plant
Amr A. Mohsen
World Solar Resources
Egypt Solar Resources
• Egypt is blessed with abundant solar energy.
2,500KWH/m2/yr or 1.2MBOE/km2/yr
• Egypt has an opportunity to lead in selected solar technologies. We need this for;– National development (e.g. remote areas)– Job creation – National security– Exports
Opportunities for Egypt
• Domestic Water Heating
• Industrial (Water & Steam) Process Heating
• Desalination
• Cooling
• Air Conditioning
• Power Generation

- 1995 data (ref. 1998 NREA/Fichtner study). - 1995 fuel consumption is equiv. to 136,000 barrels of fuel/day that is conservatively valued at over $1 billion a year (excld. Transport).- Study predicts a 32% increase in 2003 and 73% by 2011.
