Consultancy services for a combined renewable energy master plan for Egypt. Background information. Within the context of its national Renewable energy strategy, the Government of Egypt has given due consideration to enhance its indigenous resources - especially wind and solar – with the aim to increase the share of renewable energy in the electric energy generation up to 20 % by 2020. However, due to the unexpected fluctuations in the international energy market in general and the renewable sector in particular, the Government of Egypt has decided to broaden the renewable energy vision over a long term up to 2025 and set up scenarios for the period from 2025 to 2050. These scenarios shall be guidelines for designing national energy policies taking into consideration the plenty of wind and solar energy resources. Egypt has a rapidly expanding economy based on the availability of reliable and low cost elec-tric power to satisfy its socio-economic plans. Over the past 10 years growth rates of electricity demand in Egypt have ranged between 6-7 percent per year and they are expected to remain at this level for the next 10 years. In 2008 total electricity generation amounts to 125 129 GWh. It is envisaged to cover future demands by utilising fossil fuel energy resources and increasingly by renewable energy sources (RES), particularly wind and solar energies. A legal and regulatory framework will be established to support private involvement in the development of the renewable energy capacity and to regulate the sector. On 26.4.2007, the Egyptian supreme council of energy (SCE) has officially announced its renewable energy based power generation targets set to reach 20 % (amongst 12 % is from wind energy) of the overall Egyptian power generation capacity in the year 2020. The targeted accumulating wind power capacity is about 7 200 MW, i.e. about 600 MW/year. Such strategy shall provide sufficient opportunity for active and significant private sector participation. In addition, the long term vision includes the construction of several concentrating solar power (CSP) plants contributing to satisfy the local demand for electricity and providing the opportunity for exporting electricity via interconnection links. In order to realize such goals and to support large scale utilisation of the indigenous RES as an important element when planning for the power sector in Egypt over the long term, a Combined Renewable Energy Master Plan for Egypt (CREMP) shall be developed. The Combined renewable energy master plan for egypt (CREMP) will be financed by the European Union (EU) Commission via the Neighbourhood investment facility (NIF) under the lead of KfW. The beneficiary country is Egypt, with a present population of 82 000 000 (2008) and an annual population growth of 1.7 %. The CREMP shall include among other tasks: the formulation of a renewable energy (RE) policy, the formulation of the targets for installed Renewable energy technology (RET) capacity and power production, legal framework covering technical and legal aspects, financial options for the implementation of RE power plants and finally an action plan for achieving the targets outlined in the RE policy. The focus shall be on wind and solar energies, taking into consideration the decisions of the SCE as well as any other subsequent developments, including the present draft of the proposed new electricity act and the national renewable energy vision. On the regional level, the Egyptian power sector is very interested in playing an active role in both Arab and Mediterranean regions. Currently, Egypt is considered the nodal point in the interconnection via Mashreq (via Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq and Turkey later on) and Maghreb (via Libya and Tunisia later on, to be connected with Algeria and Morocco to Spain). In addition, studies are being conducted to interconnect Egypt with Nile Basin countries (via Sudan and Ethiopia as a first stage) and with the Gulf area (via Saudi Arabia). Egypt hosts the Regional centre for renewable energy and energy efficiency (RCREEE), which is an independent regional think tank established in June 2008 and dedicated to the promotion of renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE). RCREEE formulates and dissemi-nates policies in support of RE and EE and provides a platform for the regional exchange on policy issues and technological questions. RCREEE has ten founding members, including Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen. During the start up phase, RCREEE is sponsored by Egypt as well as Germany, Denmark and the EU (the development partners). Moreover, Egypt is an active member of the Union for Mediterranean (UfM) being co-president for its first period as well as a member in the working group developing the Mediterranean Solar Plan (MSP). The MSP targets to install 20 GW renewable capacity on the southern shore of the Mediterranean to meet local needs and to export a part of the generated electricity to Europe. MSP implementation depends on upgrading the related infrastructure, applying energy efficiency and energy saving measures, and enhancing the cooperation in technology transfer and capacity building. Objectives. Overall objectives. The overall objective of this study is the elaboration of a "Combined Renewable Energy Mas-ter Plan (CREMP)" with the following main elements: 1. Develop a Renewable Energy Framework (REF) for Wind and Solar (CSP and PV) Energies to support the economic and social development of Egypt by increasing the penetration in the national electric energy production. 2. Prepare the terms of reference (ToR) for a similar REF for other renewable energies such as biomass, bio-fuels or geothermal energy. 3. Assess the Egyptian capacities for manufacturing and servicing of wind and solar power plant equipment. 4. Prepare a feasibility study for a large scale CSP project in Kom Ombo, Egypt. The comprehensive CREMP, the first of its kind in Egypt, shall serve as a basis for later additional feasibility studies for large scale grid-connected wind and solar power and for a REF study of other Renewable Energy resources. Specific objectives of the Renewable energy framework (REF) for Wind and Solar Power. The specific objectives for the REF include, but are not limited to: — Formulation of the legal and economic framework to support investments in wind and so-lar energies by public and private investors, — Outline a policy for large scale implementation of electricity production capacity in Egypt based on grid-connected wind and solar energies. The policy shall be formulated with a horizon up to 2050, — Identify and classify the promising sites to host wind and solar power projects (average wind speed, solar irradiance, site topography, site infrastructure, etc.), — Assess the wind and solar energies technologies and the optimum range of the project capacity based on economic analysis (size of wind turbine, solar share, etc.), — Social and Environmental impact assessment of wind and solar power projects/business over short, medium and long terms, — Identify the technical measures necessary for large scale integration of wind and solar energies in the electricity generation system, — Identify opportunities on the demand side promoting the market environment for RE technologies, — Identify possible risks and prepare a matrix offering proposals as to how those risks can be mitigated, — Identify financing schemes and costs, — Identify the need and policy measures for technology transfer, education and also for research and development policy (R&D) required for achieving the policy targets for wind and solar energies, — Action plan for development of wind and solar energies in Egypt including targets for short-, medium- and long term penetration on the energy market and for local production content. The action plan shall cover the period up to 2025 and scenarios up to 2050, — Monitoring procedures for the implementation of the action plan. Specific objectives of the feasibility study for a large scale CSP project in Kom Ombo, Egypt. The purpose of this study is to assess the proposed CSP plant within the framework of the REF and support the New and renewable energy authority (NREA) in making a decision on the construction of a large scale CSP project in Kom Ombo, Egypt. The study shall present the relevant technical, economic, and financial factors in a way that the available options become evident and allow for a clear decision-making by NREA. Expected results (outcome). Renewable energy framework (REF). The results of the REF shall include: — The sector framework should provide defined short-, medium- and long term targets for the future of wind and solar Energies for the period up to 2025 and scenarios up to 2050 in terms of appropriate technologies, optimum capacities, and social and environmental impacts, — Recommendations on legal and financial measures and incentives to ensure achievement of the targets, — Wind and Solar Energies technologies development plan including education and research and development (R&D) programmes, — Recommendations on initiatives for supporting increased manufacturing of the components of wind and solar energies equipment, — Recommendations on initiatives for development of wind and solar energies services competence in Egypt including operation and maintenance (O&M) skills and capacity, — An action plan describing the actions required to meet the defined targets. Feasibility study for a large scale CSP project in Kom Ombo, Egypt. The consultant shall produce a report on the feasibility of a CSP power plant in Kom Ombo, Egypt. It shall form a realistic basis for the technical and financial planning for a CSP power plant in Kom Ombo. The study must include a detailed action plan with the essential implementation steps for the construction of such a plant. A main target of the feasibility study is to verify the assumptions of the developed REF and to test their feasibility using a "real world" example. The results of the Kom Ombo feasibility study will be used to test the REF and to improve its relevance and effectiveness. Therefore, the Kom Ombo feasibility study is an important element of the REF's solar energy component. Scope of work. Preparation of the REF. The scope of the project is to prepare a REF for large scale grid-connected generation, particularly at Gulf of Suez and West and East banks of Nile River at the middle part of Egypt, taking into consideration the optimal use of the allocated lands, wind and solar resources assessment, characteristics of the sites and the industrial capabilities to increase the local components in order to improve the economics of the projects. The REF shall provide a development plan for the promotion of wind and solar power generation capacities in Egypt. It should deliver scenarios demonstrating the technical and economical optimum. It should outline appropriate legal and financial measures and initiatives to support the development of large scale utilisation of both wind and solar resources, including initiatives for involvement of the local industry in the wind business as a priority and solar power plants projects as well. An action plan for achieving the targets shall be part of the REF. The specific activities for the preparation of the REF will be performed in collaboration between the nominated NREA Task Forces and the consultant. Candidates/tenderers are encouraged to incorporate local expertise by way of establishing consortia or subcontracting. Feasibility study for the large scale CSP project in Kom Ombo, Egypt. The consultant shall make full use of the experience which has already been gained during other relevant projects in Egypt and elsewhere. The Consultant must in particular take into account the outcome of the prefeasibility study which was part of the EMPower programme (http://www.empower-ph2.com/) and in this context carried out for the site in Kom Ombo. The economics of solar power is significantly improved if the power can be delivered to the grid at the time of peak power demand. Thus, the consultant shall assess whether this is a feasible option for a solar plant in Kom Ombo. In this regard, the consultant will perform the following: — Technical options for the solar fields, — Plant design, — Economic analysis, — Environmental analysis, — Financing regime and profitability calculations, — CSP Long-term evaluation.
