Ex-Head of Electricity Agency: Mobilizations Enabled Gas Security
Dr. Hafez Selmawi, former head of the Electricity Regulatory Authority, confirmed that the increase in electricity consumption during the summer season is an annual occurrence and depends on rising temperatures and the use of air conditioning. He stated that the overall capacity of the grid and facilities is not facing a problem in meeting the additional loads, but the biggest challenge lies in the availability of the fuel needed for power generation, especially since Egypt imports about 35-40% of its gas needs, the price of which recently increased by 40% due to global conditions. Nevertheless, early planning has helped maintain stable supplies, despite the higher costs associated with securing the fuel.
