Conclusion:

The four main hydroelectric generating stations currently operating in Egypt are the
Aswan Low Dam, the Esna Dam, the Aswan High Dam, and the Naga Hamady Barrages. 2016 is
the planned year for the commissioning and addition of the Asyut Barrage hydropower project as
a fifth station. The Aswan High Dam provides almost all of Egypt's hydroelectric power. an
ongoing renovation project is increasing the generating capacity of the dam to 2.4GW and
extending the operational life of the turbines by about 40 years. The Aswan High Dam is located
about 600 miles upstream from Cairo and It has a hydroelectric plant with an installed capacity
of 2,100 megawatts. Lake Nasser stretches some 310 miles upstream from the dam site,
extending 125 miles into Sudan. The ESNA hydropower plant project is 85.68 MW, and it is 160
miles above Asyut. It is situated in Luxor. Aswan Low Dam Power Plant is a hydro power plant
with a total output of 592 MW. The Naga Hamady Barrages is also a hydro power plant with a
total output of 64 MW, and it is 150 miles above Asyut.

The project of the ESNA hydropower plant has a net head of 5.7 million. Through this
project, 473 GWh of electricity was produced. 6 electric generators have been installed for this
project. The hydropower project chose Andritz Hydro as its turbine supplier. 6 Kaplan turbines,
each with a nameplate capacity of 14.28 MW, were provided by the business
The High Dam of Aswan is equipped with a hydropower plant with 2.1 million MW
capacity and power generation of 10,000 GWh yearly. The power generation is accomplished by
investing 12 generating units. Nowadays, the average production by The High Dam of Aswan
hydropower plant is around 8000 GWh/year. The power generation of the plant has been used to
provide Egypt’s countryside with electricity, which includes more than 4500 villages, and to run
a huge number of factories and pumping stations that have been used later for irrigation and
drainage porpoises. The High Dam of Aswan has also improved the efficiency of the Old Aswan
Hydropower stations (1 and 2) with a net hydropower generation gain of about 10 000
GWh/year.

Aswan Low Dam Power Plant is a hydro power plant with a total output of 592 MW. It
supports two hydroelectric power plants, Aswan I (1960) and Aswan II (1985–1986). Aswan I
contains 7 X 40 megawatts (54,000 hp) generators with Kaplan turbines for a combined capacity
of 280 megawatts (380,000 hp) and is located west of the dam. Aswan II contains 4 x 67.5
megawatts (90,500 hp) generators for an installed capacity of 270 megawatts (360,000 hp) and is
located at the toe of the dam.
 Nearly, most hydroelectric generation in Egypt comes from the Aswan High Dam. The
Aswan High Dam's theoretical generating capacity is 2.1GW; but the dam is rarely able to
operate at full design capacity due to low water levels. A renewing program is being enacted to
not only increase the generating capacity to 2.4GW, but also extend the operational life of the
turbines by about 40 years which is a good program.

The Qattara Depression project, or the Qattara project for short, is the idea of a giant
engineering project in Egypt. In competition with the Aswan High Dam because It can generate
twice as much electricity as the High Dam, the aim is to develop the hydroelectric potential of
the Qattara Depression through the creation of an artificial lake.
