Egypt\u2019s Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy Mohamed Shaker said that the New Administrative Capital (NAC) electrical power plant is the largest of its kind in the world.<\/p>\n

Shaker also said that the power plant, which was established only 2.5 years ago, is cooled by air. It adds to Egypt\u2019s aspiration to export renewable energy to Europe through modern networks, the minister said.<\/p>\n

In a statement before the House of Representatives, the minister said that one power plant takes six years to construct according to the system in force. He indicated that his ministry follows a scientific method of operation and maintenance, which leads to an increase in capacity and production, as well as achieving an adequate surplus and reserve.<\/p>\n

Shaker also said Egypt faced a major crisis in its electricity sector in 2014, but the authorities implemented several projects to improve service. As part of this, three large stations were built in collaboration with Siemens, providing a total of 14,000 MWs in energy.<\/p>\n

The minister added that Egypt is currently working to establish centres to control the electrical network with investments of EGP 5.4bn, which come in addition to a global control centre at the NAC.<\/p>\n

He said that the voltage network had a capacity of 500 kW, but has been increased four-fold to 54,000 kW.<\/p>\n

Shaker pointed to his ministry\u2019s cooperation with the Ministry of Environment to save on the special fuel used for energy production, which has reduced emissions by 20%. As part of this, equipment was developed to avoid any problems.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that there will be a link with Jordan, Cyprus and Sudan, and that consultations are continuing in this context, noting the country\u2019s ambition to export renewable energy to Europe through modern networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
