Energy Efficiency (EE) is the immediate and effective way to reduce the industrial production costs in addition to its role in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and improving the availability of energy supply. It has been widely demonstrated that EE improvements do not require investments and that they can be achieved through applying no-cost\/low-cost measures. The Industrial Energy Efficiency (IEE) project believes that achieving significant changes in EE requires integrating EE considerations in the decision-making process within organizations.<\/p>\n

On 29 January 2015, HE Dr. Khaled Fahmy, Minister of Environment and HE Dr. Mounir Fakhry Abdel Nour, Minister of Trade, Industry and Small and Medium Enterprises met with a team of experts working within the IEE project in Egypt to discuss the plan for the development of a national strategy and roadmap to promote Industrial Energy Efficiency in Egypt. The strategy identifies the vision, objectives and priorities, with a focus on the current situation in Egypt in terms of energy availability, usage, supply and efficiency.<\/p>\n

The meeting displayed the high level commitment of both Ministries to support energy efficiency in the industrial sector. It also gave a good momentum for the first consultation workshop, which took place on 24 and 25 February 2015, which was attended by an experienced team representing relevant ministries, and governmental organizations. The team provided their inputs to the proposed strategy in order to ensure its effectiveness with regard to industrial EE in Egypt.<\/p>\n

The aim of the workshop was: Present key insights on the current anatomy of IEE in Egypt and receive input from workshop participants<\/p>\n

Align on the proposed IEE vision
\nAlign on the strategic objectives
\nGenerate potential actions to achieve objectives and mitigate challenges, and finally
\nAgree on policy filters and phasing criteria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
