Deputy seeks study on electricity price hike
The Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy has approved an average increase of 12% in electricity prices, while keeping the rate for the first residential consumption tier unchanged. This decision is due to rising production costs and the government bearing a portion of the subsidy. The increase raises parliamentary questions about its impact on households, especially low- and middle-income families, amidst difficult economic conditions and increasing living costs. Member of Parliament Ireen Saeed demands that the ministry provide detailed studies on the economic and technical foundations behind the decision, as well as its effects on inflation and the cost of living. She also requests clarification on the extent of energy loss in the electricity networks, investments in renewable energy projects, and how these initiatives could help reduce costs.
