The IEE project implemented by UNIDO is currently progressing towards the development of a national strategy for Industrial Energy Efficiency (IEE) in order to accelerate EE efforts in the industrial sector in Egypt. The IEE project has finalized the \u201cBaseline assessment report\u201d and \u201cInternational best practices report\u201d, followed by 2 think tanks meetings with representatives from government, private sector and academic staff to work on the formulation of the IEE policy. Then the project held a meeting with HE Dr. Khaled Fahmy, Minister of Environment and HE Dr. Mounir Fakhry Abdel Nour, Minister of Trade, Industry and SMEs and a team of IEE project experts to discuss the development of a national Industrial Energy Efficiency strategy followed by 2 consultation workshops to align on strategic objectives, generate potential actions to achieve objectives and mitigate challenges and agree on required policies.<\/p>\n

On the 28th March, the IEE project held a meeting with representatives from government and industry to discuss the derivation of potential policies. This meeting took place at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Small and Medium Enterprises and aimed at discussing the policies pertaining to the agreed strategic objectives. The meeting is a prelude to the second workshop that will finalize the policies and their implementation plans.
\nKey points raised during the meeting:<\/p>\n

Phasing of targeted industries within each policy was welcomed to avoid imbalances and bottlenecks.
\nPolicies should not overburden the industry with bureaucratic procedures.
\nEE measures should be mandated and not be left as a voluntary action
\nImplementing EMS garnered support from participants who recommended mandating ISO 50001<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
