PACR of a project (9/89-5/98) to relocate three gas turbines from existing power plants to a new site near Hurghada, Egypt. The project was a component of the Power Sector Support Project I. The main counterpart agency was the Egyptian Electricity Authority (EEA). The successfully completed project added an additional 85 MW of generating capacity to the EEA generation system (allowing for reduced capacity due to high ambient summer temperatures). Initially, this power was available only to meet the steadily increasing demand from new developments in the Hurghada area; since 1998, the latter has been connected to the Unified Power System (UPS) and now draws its power from the national grid. The six renovated 24 MW gas turbines at Hurghada (five financed by USAID and one by EEA) are currently used only on a standby basis, since they have not yet been connected to the natural gas system, and, using solar energy, are more expensive to run than are turbines that use natural gas. However, EEA has applied for a natural gas connection for this plant. To make this economically feasible, it plans to move an additional 6 turbines to Hurghada and convert all 12 to combined cycle operation

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
