Egypt has more than 10 million streetlights, which use up around six per cent of the country’s electricity. These typically use sodium, mercury vapour, and incandescent lamps.
In April 2015, a project valued at US$268.2 million was announced by the Minster of Electricity to replace 3.89 million street lamp bulbs with energy-efficient ones and is slated to be completed in 28 months. The objective of the energy-efficient street lighting will save Egypt US$191.52 million annually.
To showcase the newest technology advancements along with the very latest project case studies, Advanced Conferences & Meetings is launching LightingTech Egypt conference on 9-10 December 2015 in Cairo, Egypt.
An imperative need
Blackouts have become increasingly common in Egypt. The Electricity Ministry spokesperson Mohamed Al-Yamani recently urged Egyptian citizens to use LED bulbs to help conserve energy, and avoid operating all electrical devices at once.
