Electricity and Petroleum Ministers Mohamed Shaker and Tarek el-Mulla, respectively, attended on Sunday 24/4/2016 the signing ceremony of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to use geothermal energy.
The MoU was inked between the South Valley Holding Company for Petroleum (Ganope) and the New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA).
The MoU comes within the framework of the cabinet's keenness on using the new and renewable energy so as to ease the pressure on consuming the traditional forms of energy (petroleum and gas).
