Water Holding Company honors new energy engineers within the “Nile Delta Water Management” project in cooperation with the German Agency for International Cooperation GIZ.
Engineer Mamdouh Raslan, President of the Holding Company for Potable Water and Wastewater, honored a number of new energy managers at the Holding Company for Potable Water and Wastewater and its subsidiaries, within the “Nile Delta Water Management Project” GIZ, numbering 22 engineers, from the Holding Company and (Cairo Sanitation) companies. And the waters of Alexandria, Beheira, Menoufia, Sharqia, Dakahlia, Canal Governorates, Fayoum, Beni Suef, Minya, Sohag, Assiut, Aswan, Qena, and Qalyubia), after passing a training course that lasted over a year, and passing the international accreditation certificate CEM granted by Society of Energy Engineers of the United States of America (AEE).
Engineer Mamdouh Raslan emphasized that the projects and responsibilities for operating and maintaining drinking water and sanitation facilities are very large, so that the qualified human element is what ensures the efficient sustainability of the service. Therefore, the holding company, since its establishment, has been seeking to raise the efficiency of workers and expand new training programs that meet the needs of the sector. Cooperation with the German Agency for International Cooperation in the field of energy rationalization has contributed to achieving rapid results, especially since the energy field contributes to strengthening the financial capabilities of companies through good asset management, and the energy rationalization system must be included within the general plan to determine priorities and mechanisms for practical application.
Dr. Ahmed Moawad, Vice President of the Holding Company for Potable Water and Wastewater, said that the energy rationalization department is one of the most important departments in the company, and energy projects and expansion of solar energy must be among the priorities of the next stage, especially since there is a major boom in the implementation of drinking water and wastewater projects. There is a great opportunity to apply what has been studied and prepare a model for a model energy conservation station.
He added that the company's plan to save energy and electricity depends primarily on new technologies that are used in water and sanitation projects and electricity-saving pumps, as well as accelerating the international quality program and obtaining a large number of stations with the Technical Sustainable Management (TSM) certificate, in line with the state's policy of supporting... Energy rationalization and raising the efficiency of the drinking water and sanitation sector.
