Egypt Halts Summer Power Cuts to Address Crisis
News summary

Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly has declared the cessation of power cuts during the summer, starting from July 21st until mid-December, following the arrival of natural gas shipments and contracted mazut fuel. The decision is aimed at stabilizing energy supplies and addressing the surging electricity consumption, which peaked at 37.5 gigawatts per day. Egypt, heavily reliant on natural gas for electricity generation, had resorted to load shedding to manage high demand during the hot season. The government's future energy strategy includes significant investments in renewable energy sources by 2025 to meet escalating summer energy needs and sustain the power grid. This move comes after the government faced challenges due to increased power demand driven by a growing population and urban development.
