Egypt's heatwave may cut electricity use
The Egyptian Ministry of Electricity and Energy confirmed that there is no need to reduce loads despite recording record-high consumption levels, with loads exceeding 39,000 megawatts for the first time. This surge is attributed to the high temperatures, which have led to a significant increase in electricity consumption. The ministry clarified that the grid is capable of handling the demand and that emergency technical faults are the main cause of some temporary outages, with an average response time of 30 minutes. Additionally, the government has invested approximately 4.2 trillion Egyptian pounds to develop production capacities, which have reached over 47,000 megawatts. The grid's capacity has also increased to more than 41,000 megawatts following previous tests, ensuring a stable continuation of electricity supply.
