The presentation summarized Egypt's process for collecting energy use data and monitoring energy efficiency and renewable energy policies. It described the strengths and weaknesses of their current data collection, including available reports but lack of standardized definitions. Three indicators were discussed: macroeconomic activities and efficiency, industrial energy intensity and subsidies, and residential electricity use. National and regional monitoring uses these indicators to set goals, interpret trends, and benchmark performance. The conclusion proposed adopting common indicators across Arab League countries and implementing data collection through regional cooperation to strengthen processes and set benchmarks.

4. Strengths and Weaknesses of data
collection process (1out of 4)
Accessibility to data resources
 Reports from Central Agency for Public
Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS).
 Periodical reports and studies from different
entities representing the supply and demand of
energy in Egypt.
 The Oil/Gas sector and the Electricity sector
 The New and Renewable Energy Authority
 The Industrial Development Authority
 The Egyptian Electric Utility and Consumer
Protection Regulatory Agency

6. Strengths and Weaknesses of data
collection process (2 out of 4)
Relevancy and Strengths
 A clear collection scheme with clear data
sheets
 Metered data energy supply and end use for
electricity and gas use for end users
 Aggregated data for oil end users

7. Strengths and Weaknesses of data
collection process (3 out of 4)
Accuracy and consistency / Weaknesses
 Follow international standards and
recommendations.
 Not all the data is collected (financial fields
rather than energy fields
 Correlation between energy use and
production level.

8. Strengths and Weaknesses of data
collection process (4 out of 4)
Recommendations to improve data collection
 Mandatory energy surveys audits
 A robust data verification process
 Unification/ standard definitions

22. Use of indicators in National or regional EE
and RE policy monitoring and evaluation
The used indicators help in:
Setting, monitoring and evaluate National
energy strategies and goals
An implementation of an obligatory scheme for energy use data
collection ; from both the: supply side & the end use side
Serve as the base for regional benchmarking
Select the common EE indicators from the different countries
with a popper weighting factor
Interpretation of observed trends
Serve as the base for developing reliable,
sustainable and significant indicators

steps
League of Arab States (LAS) accepting to adopt
the purposed indicators as the ones used. That
involve energy suppliers and end users
First stage implementation through RCREEE
countries, to ensure:
 The enhancement/development of existing institutional
data organizational for the consistent and sustainable data
collection processes.
 Setting the benchmarks and the related scheduled.
 Developing and adopting a performance contact scheme
whenever possible
