Egypt Sustains Electricity Support Despite Tariff Hike
Egypt announces the continued support for electricity prices during the 2026-2027 fiscal year, despite rising production costs and a 12% increase in prices across all residential consumption categories, except for the first tier, whose price has been fixed to alleviate social burdens. The government’s subsidy remains over 100 billion Egyptian pounds annually. These measures are part of a plan to narrow the gap between production costs and consumer prices, regardless of the rising fuel prices used to operate power plants. Over the past years, the country has experienced successive increases in electricity prices, with fixed rates for certain categories and limited adjustments for the higher tiers to reduce the impact of these hikes on citizens.
