The meeting, attended by Engineer Sabah Mashali, Deputy Minister, addressed areas of joint work and cooperation to develop and modernize the unified grid and increase its capacity to accommodate energy generated from diverse generation sources. It also addressed projects undertaken in cooperation with the electricity sector, the various areas of the Chinese company's work, and what it can do to modernize and develop grids and establish connected and separate stations for energy storage systems to support the grid during peak times. Discussions included a review of the company's areas of work and its presence in several countries through successful cooperation models in the field of building renewable energy plants, as well as energy storage technologies, reducing losses in distribution networks, and other electricity-related fields.
Esmat said that relying on modern technology is one of
the most important criteria for achieving quality and efficiency within the
framework of the state's digital transformation plan. He explained that
modernization and development is an ongoing process and a key determinant of
the current work plan to improve performance rates and enhance the level of
services provided to subscribers. He added that the electricity and renewable
energy sector supports partnerships and cooperation with the local and foreign
private sector within the framework of the ongoing effort to modernize,
develop, and support the unified electricity grid and transition from the
traditional grid system to smart grids, which represents a qualitative leap in
the future of electricity transmission and distribution in Egypt.
He explained that work will continue in light of the energy strategy to exploit renewable energy resources and maximize their returns by expanding energy storage batteries, as well as relying on clean energy to achieve sustainable development, increase the proportion of renewable energy in the energy mix, and reduce traditional fuel consumption to achieve energy security and ensure sustainability. He stressed that providing electricity services at an appropriate level and adhering to international standards, within the framework of investing in the infrastructure reconstruction that has been carried out across the country, is one of the most important criteria for success and within the performance evaluation determinants.
