Electricity rates rise in 2026
The Egyptian Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy announced the implementation of a new electricity tariff structure for residential consumption, starting with the August 2026 bill, which reflects July's consumption. The increase includes an average rise of 12% across most segments, while the rate for the first tier remains fixed at 68 piastres per kilowatt-hour to support low-consumption households. The changes also involve adjustments to the prices of various tiers, with rates for consumption from 51 kilowatts up to more than 1,000 kilowatt-hours increasing. These measures aim to cover rising production costs and ensure the sustainability of the electricity sector, while continuing support for less-consuming categories and reducing the burden on low-income households.
