We have carried out a calculation of 241 levels for Ne-like Ge (Z = 36) to calculate electron impact collision strengths and effective collision strengths belonging to 1s22s22p5nl, 1s22s12p6nl (n = 3, 4, 5, 6; l = s, p, d, f, g, and h) configurations, which have been calculated by the fully relativistic flexible atomic code (FAC). Our calculations, based on the distorted-wave method with large configuration interactions, are included. Collision strengths have been generated over an electron energy range of (10–20 000 eV) and they have been listed at seven representative energies of 65.33, 1714.98, 2944.1, 4868.3, 7564.6, 11 040, and 15 221 eV in this work, and effective collision strengths data have been calculated from these at electron plasma temperatures 650, 850, 1050, 1250, 1450, 1650, and 1850 eV. Our results are compared with those available in the literature. It is found that the resonance effects are important in calculating the effective collision strengths.
