Technical Assistance for developing the Corporate Identity and Website of the Gas Regulatory
Agency

Context

The GoE has been embarking on substantial reforms in the energy sector aiming to attract investments and
improve its efficiency as well as ensure the sectors financial sustainability. The reforms in the oil and gas
sector took four complementary approaches, including developing a new legal framework, improving the
sector governance, moving towards a competitive gas market, and start up a process for subsidy reform.
Accordingly, a department for regulatory affairs has been established under the Egyptian Holding Company
for Natural Gases EGAS, as a first step towards the establishment of an independent Gas Regulatory
Agency.

Upon enacting the gas law, the new Gas Regulatory Agency shall be established, and consequently it will
act as the anchor for the envisaged reforms in the gas sector. Particularly, issuance of gas transmission
tariff, supporting market entry of new shippers and suppliers, improving the performance of the
transmission and distribution operators, and improving transparency in the sector are typical mandates that
require clear, adequate and timely issuance of the needed regulations to enforce them. These regulations
among others are the tools for creating an enabling environment for new private investments, thus
supporting the gas regulator in leading the gradual opening of the gas market in Egypt. Accordingly, over
the last four years, the Gas Regulatory Affairs Department (under EGAS) has been receiving technical
assistance supporting the establishment of the regulator (its vision, mission, accountability and mandates),
and the necessary legal framework for the new gas market.

Objective

The new gas Regulatory Agency will be an independent body, this requires possessing its own website and
corporate design and an aligned corporate identity. The website of the regulator will be the most useful and
most important communication tool. All regulatory documents, official laws, decrees and regulations will
be published on this website for all users.

For that objective of this assignment is to develop the website and corporate identity of the new Gas
Regulatory Agency.

Scope of Service

website and to start uploading some of the available regulatory documents.
