Electricity Minister updates on load shedding policy
The Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy, Mahmoud Esmat, announced the abolition of the practice system as the last resort for estimated electricity consumption bills. He highlighted the unification of assessment mechanisms across all electricity companies as part of a plan to develop and improve service delivery to citizens. He emphasized that the ministry will not revert to casual load shedding, as there are ready scenarios to address geopolitical crises and emergency events. Additionally, a plan is underway to enhance network efficiency and upgrade power plants using renewable sources and energy storage systems. He explained that sector measures have led to a reduction in fuel consumption by approximately 40 grams per kilowatt-hour, saving over 65 billion cubic meters of gas valued at more than $38 billion. The grid's security was maintained during the peak load record of 40.2 gigawatts in August 2026, while ensuring the stability of power supply.
