Cairo Airport to adopt energy-saving measures in June
Measures aimed at conserving electricity – to come into effect next month – will include 20-percent reduction of airport lighting, aviation minister says
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 27 - 05 - 2013

Cairo International Airport will be subject to major energy-conservation measures – including a 20-percent reduction of airport lighting – starting next month, Al-Ahram's Arabic-language news website reported on Monday, citing statements by Aviation Minister Wael El-Madawy.
According to El-Madawy, the airport's night-time operations will not be halted, but only one landing lane will be available for incoming planes, given the small number of nocturnal flights.
Egypt has recently suffered a spate of intermittent electricity outages due to ongoing shortages of fuel for the nation's power stations.
Earlier this week, the government decided to raise the quantities of natural gas supplied to Egypt's power stations – to 84 million cubic metres per day – in an attempt to meet rising electricity demand.
Egypt's total daily electricity consumption this summer is expected to rise to 29,500 megawatts, while the total daily capacity of national electricity production currently stands at some 27,000 megawatts.
