Electricity bill increase by usage
The Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy announced the implementation of new prices for residential electricity tiers in 2026, with an average increase of approximately 12%. The prices for the higher consumption tiers have been raised, while the price of the first tier remains fixed at 68 piastres per kilowatt-hour, which benefits from significant government support. The percentage increase ranged from 6.2% for the highest tier (more than 1,000 kilowatt-hours) to 21.8% for the tier from 51 to 100 kilowatt-hours. The government aims to reduce the gap between the cost of electricity production and the selling price to consumers, with limited support for low-consumption users, as prices for higher tiers are now close to the actual cost of electricity generation.
