Abstract
The study focused on answering the question whether Aswan Governorate has the geographical ingredients to localize solar power plants or not? The study also aims to highlight the most important geographical components enjoyed by Aswan Governorate necessary for the localization of solar power plants, both photovoltaic and concentrated, and the study relied on various data between climatic data represented in the angle of sun's rays, the amount of direct solar radiation, the number of hours of solar brightness, temperatures, atmospheric pressure distributions, the effects of air masses, wind speeds, the amount of clouds, and data related to geological formations and topography of the earth's surface for Aswan Governorate.
Finally, data related to infrastructure such as the national grid for electricity, roads and natural gas, and the study relied on the descriptive analytical approach in analyzing the aforementioned data to reach a result through which we can answer the question of the research problem, and the study concluded that Aswan Governorate has all the necessary ingredients to settle solar power plants, whether climatic, economic, environmental and cultural. Where it has many components, for example, the advantages of solar radiation and the elements of infrastructure from a national road network, a unified electrical network, and thermal fuel sources such as the natural gas network, and there are sources of fresh water represented in the water of the Nile, Lake Nasser and groundwater, especially on the western side of the Nile River, where underground reservoirs are located in the Nubian sandstone layers.
