Deputy Jabril Requests Inquiry on Prepaid Meter Suspension

Deputy Mohamed Jebreal submitted an urgent question to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Electricity regarding the decision by Alexandria Electricity Company to stop pre-paid electricity meter top-ups, especially coded meters, in several areas including Bashayer El Kheir, Karmoz, and Moharam Bek. He emphasized that some of these meters have not been installed for more than 10 years and are still functioning efficiently. He expressed his surprise at the decision to replace them despite their effectiveness. Additionally, he pointed out that the decision, which requires citizens to purchase new meters from the same company, imposes additional financial burdens amid difficult economic conditions. The deputy called for clarification of the technical and administrative reasons behind this decision and for a discussion on the possibility of continuing to operate meters that are still working well, in order to protect citizens' interests and reduce their financial burdens. He urgently requested that this issue be discussed within the Energy Committee to find solutions that consider the circumstances of families.
