Electricity bill calculator 2026 update
The Ministry of Electricity and Energy in Egypt plans to implement new electricity rates for 2026, with an average increase of 12% across most consumption brackets. The first tier will remain unchanged to support consumers with low electricity usage. This increase aims to maintain the stability of the electricity sector and ensure the sustainability of production and transmission services, while the government continues to subsidize bills. The state's annual budget allocates around 100 billion Egyptian pounds to support electricity costs. Government support varies depending on the amount of consumption: consumers bear a smaller percentage of the cost in lower tiers, while government subsidies increase with higher consumption. For example, at a consumption of 2,000 kilowatt-hours per month, the government’s support for higher consumption brackets reaches 100%. The ministry emphasizes that the price adjustments are intended to organize and optimize support more efficiently.
