New proposal to fix electric meter issues
The Energy and Environment Committee of the Egyptian Senate discussed a suggestion by Deputy Emad Khalil regarding the development of the electricity metering system and supporting the use of solar energy. The proposal aims to address the ongoing issue with codified meters by improving efficiency and ensuring greater fairness in consumption billing, especially after the implementation of a unified electricity rate for certain buildings that are in violation and have applied for reconciliation, set at 2.74 pounds per kilowatt-hour, and the abolition of the subsidized tiered system starting from April 2026. This decision has led to increased bills for citizens with limited consumption, as they are now billed at a single rate, thereby increasing the financial burden on lower-consumption households.
