  1. The Challenges to Implementing an AMR System in the Middle East Presented By: Maha Chalouhi Chalhoub NEEDS Near East Engineering and Development Services Date: February 1, 2005

  2. Energy Status in the Middle East AMR Enterprise Solution AMR Challenges in the Area AMR Potential February 1, 2005 Table of Content 2

  3. Energy Status in the Middle East Countries February 1, 2005 2003 Total Generation Capacity in the ME : 154GW * Check Source of Information Slide 3

  4. Energy Status in the Middle East Countries February 1, 2005 Average Net Electricity Consumption Growth: 2.8% / year * Source: Energy Information Administration 4

  5. Energy Status in the Middle East Countries February 1, 2005 * Source: Energy Information Administration 5

  6. Facts in the Middle East: • Saudi Arabia has 25% of proven oil reserve, UAE • 10%, Kuwait 8%. • - 2004 KSA oil exports revenues > 100 billion $ • - 2001: ME produced 32% of crude oil world production • The largest reserve of natural gas is in ME: 3rd in • Qatar, 5th in UAE: • ME holds 35% of world’s estimated reserve in gas • 2004 GDP Growth: UAE: 4%, Bahrain/Jordan: 4.6%, • Qatar: 4.7%, KSA: 6.1%. • Dubai: the Model of the New 21st Century City: • Internet City, Children’s City, Festivity City, Knowledge Village Energy Status in the Middle East Countries February 1, 2005 6

  7. Maturity of Various Business Lines Economic / Industrial Boom Population Growth Energy Status in the Middle East Countries February 1, 2005 Great Potential Business Market Area 7

  8. Energy Status in the Middle East Countries February 1, 2005 • HOWEVER… • Electricity Prices differs from lowest prices (Qatar, • Saudi, UAE, Syria) to the highest prices in the • world (Lebanon, Jordan) • - Losses are stamped by non-technical losses like • electricity theft that may reach 24% of production • Electricity Demand may exceed sometimes • electricity supply leading some ME countries to • import electricity from neighbors to avoid • black-out • - Many ME Power Sectors are State-Owned: No competition. * Check Source of Information Slide 8

  9. Energy Status in the Middle East Countries February 1, 2005 Quality of Service not matching Quality of Life High Rate of Non-Technical Losses Operation Deficiency Great Potential for Customer Services Improvement 9

  10. Transformations in Middle East Power Sector: • Qatar: 2000: Privatization: Asset of MEW → QEWC • 2001: Ras Laffan IWPP • Bahrain: In 2004: First contract for IPP / Consideration • of Privatization of entire electricity sector • UAE: In 1998: ADWED → ADWEA / 2nd IPP in Gulf area • - Jordan: Deregulation distribution and generation • power network • In 2002, grid linking project: Egypt, Jordan, Syria and • others Energy Status in the Middle East Countries February 1, 2005 10
