The Chairman of the Board of Administrators of the Nationwide Railways Authority, Mohamed Amer, inaugurated the primary part of the challenge to put in a photo voltaic power station on high of the Misr Station in Cairo.
The part is inside the framework of the implementation of a cooperation protocol signed by the authority between the Industrial Modernization Heart and the Ministry of Electrical energy and Renewable Vitality.
That is an built-in challenge for the photo voltaic cell system related to {the electrical} grid and enchancment of the lighting methods for the Misr Station, funded by a grant from the United Nations Growth Program.
The challenge is split into three phases.
The primary part has been accomplished on the roof of the concrete constructing of Misr Station in Cairo and the mosque adjoining to the station with a capability of 311 kilowatts, roughly 479,469 kilo/hours per yr.
The price of the primary part is LE3,584,704, and can save nearly LE600,000 per yr.
The solar energy station contributes to the discount of carbon dioxide emissions by 276 tons per yr, which is equal to planting 11,500 timber per yr, along with that the lifespan of the station is 25 years, saving approx. -husband LE15 million presently.
The station will cowl its building prices inside six years on the newest.
The implementation of the second part will start by implementing a corrugated sheet roof on the roof of Misr t in Cairo with a capability of 471 kilowatts and at a value of LE6,590,000, roughly 722,000 kWh per yr. This may save roughly LE900,000 per yr.
The third part contains the roof of the monetary administration buildings, the railway complicated, the railway engineering constructing, and the printing press, with a capability of 326 kilowatts and a value of LE4,594,000, roughly 500,000 kWh per yr, saving roughly LE625, 000 per yr. The challenge is deliberate to be generalized to the principle buildings and different authority stations.
