Israel cuts gas to Egypt by half
Israel has reduced natural gas supplies to Egypt by 50% for three days due to maintenance work at the Tamar and Leviathan fields in the Mediterranean Sea, resulting in a decrease from approximately 1.2 billion cubic feet per day to about 600 million cubic feet. This maintenance comes amid rising demand for electricity during the current heatwave, with load levels on the Egyptian power grid reaching an unprecedented 40.2 thousand megawatts. To compensate for the reduction, Egypt has requested immediate liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments from foreign suppliers, and has increased gas re-injection through a facility in Aqaba by 483%, incurring an additional cost of $50 million. These measures are part of the Egyptian energy bank's plan to increase reliance on gas imports during the maintenance period.
