has and is still implementing one of its most
important projects which isEnergy Efficiency
Improvement and Greenhouse Gas Reduction project
for a total budget of MUS 5.9, financed by the

Energy Efficiency standards and Labels

• In cooperation with the Organization for Energy
  Planning, and the Egyptian Organization for
  Standardization have selected the most intensive
  energy consumption appliances in Egypt which are
  room air conditioners, refrigerators, and
  clothes washing machines
• Energy efficiency standards and labels have been
  developed and designed for the three appliances.
• An accredited Energy Efficiency Testing
  Laboratory for
  refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners
  and lighting equipment has
  been established at the
  New and Renewable Energy Authority, to certify
  and classify the
  appliances according to the
  minimum energy efficiency standards.
• Average pay back period is 8 month.
