Electricity Prices
The government has delayed the increase in electricity prices for the third time in order to ease the financial burden on citizens.
According to the government’s six-year roadmap, which aims to structure electricity prices by 2025,
residential electricity bills were supposed to rise by up to 21% on the first of July.
President El-Sisi additionally stated that over 17 million families continue to pay “subsidised” electricity tariffs,
that are approximately 50% less than their monthly electricity consumption expenditures.
