Electric loads in Egypt exceeded a new record on August 12, 2026, as the national grid registered a delay of 40.2 gigawatts, the highest electricity demand since the grid's operation began. This surge is directly linked to rising temperatures and increased cooling and air conditioning consumption during the summer season. The grid previously reached a record peak of 39.3 gigawatts in July 2026. Despite reaching this historic load, the Ministry of Electricity confirmed that there was no reintroduction of load-shedding plans, as the grid was prepared to accommodate the increase while maintaining power supply stability through enhanced readiness and maintenance during the current heatwave. The rising electricity demand underscores the need to increase generation capacity and improve transmission and distribution networks to cope with the continuous growth in electricity consumption.
