Production of hydro-energy The turbines first installed at the High Dam did
not work effectively and soon had to be replaced by others with American
and West German support. So at last in 1990/91 the electricity produced
reached 86 per cent of the 10 billion kWh originally projected. Today, however,
the Aswan High Dam has lost its former relevance as a power source, since
petroleum and gas supply most of the country’s energy needs. In 2000/01 the
power stations at the two Aswan Dams together provided about 17 per cent
of the 77 billion kWh of electricity produced in Egypt (Ministry of Informa-
tion 2002b; see also Table 9.4).
