With Egypt’s interim cabinet announced, the new Minister of Electricity has promised to usher in a new era in the country’s power sector. Ahmed Imam was sworn into office on July 15, stating after taking his oath that he will restructure Egypt’s power sector. The restructuring will include the areas of finance, construction of new power generation plants, and an increase in private sector participation. The new phase does not only pertain to the country’s oil and gas sectors, but also renewable energy – particularly solar and wind power plants.
Imam was an engineer at the Aswan High Dam power plant, later moving to the West Delta Electricity Production Co. He was appointed head of the Cairo Electricity Production Co. until 2011, and after the revolution, was appointed as deputy to the minister of electricity.
