Electricity sliding scale as social protection
The article discussed statements made by the official spokesperson of the Ministry of Electricity, who clarified that the tiered system used to calculate electricity tariffs aims to protect consumers from direct price increases. The first tier accounts for only 3% of consumers and is protected from any changes to its recent charges, while consumers in the second and third tiers make up approximately 63%. It was also explained that the electricity tariff is based on an approved fuel price of $4 per kilowatt, with government support amounting to around 268 billion Egyptian pounds to cover the gap between the actual fuel price ($8) and the tariff price. The total support thus reaches 371 billion Egyptian pounds, ensuring the sustainability of electricity supply and maintaining a balanced system while considering social factors.
