Government connects 2.195M homes to gas in Upper Egypt
The report highlighted the efforts of the Ministry of Petroleum in developing Upper Egypt through expansion and investment projects, including the natural gas connection to over 2.19 million household customers since 2009, along with infrastructure development. It also announced the extension of gas networks to 374 villages as part of the "Decent Life" initiative, aimed at improving services and supporting community development. The plan focused on increasing local exploration and production, especially in promising areas such as West Assiut and al-Dakhla, with projections of producing between 5,000 and 11,000 barrels per day by 2030. Additionally, capacities for refining were enhanced, and production complexes for petroleum products were established. The gas distribution network was also expanded to create a safe energy source and reduce dependence on LPG, with a target of adding more than 179,000 new customers by 2026/2027. The ministry's efforts also included social responsibility initiatives, rural development, and improvements to healthcare services, all aimed at supporting sustainable development in Upper Egypt.
