2 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

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

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

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

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

7 Energy Status in the Middle East Countries 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: 3 rd in Qatar, 5 th 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 21 st Century City: Internet City, Children’s City, Festivity City, Knowledge Village February 1, 2005 6

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

9 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. Energy Status in the Middle East Countries * Check Source of Information Slide February 1, 2005 8

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

11 Energy Status in the Middle East Countries 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 February 1, 2005 10

12 Technologies Adopted in the Middle East Countries Automation Projects (EMS/DMS) LV AMR Pilot Project BAHRAIN National Control Center Trends Serious Efforts in ME were put to manage the HV Level. Why not the MV and LV Device ? AMR Pilot Projects/Contract Signature National Control Center February 1, 2005 11

13 Generation Level Transmission Level Distribution Level Consumer Level Black-outs Historical information Classic network Continuous Supply Responsive, Intelligent Network Real-time Information Non-technical losses Immediate Actions Required Manual / lengthy collection Automated / Remote Today Utility Objectives February 1, 2005 12
