Books – Mohamed Salah:
An official source at the National Electricity Control Center revealed that new instructions were issued to all nine electricity distribution companies nationwide
The source said, in exclusive statements to Masrawy, that the new instructions include the following:
1- Changing the work load reduction plan to start at 3 p.m. and end at 8 p.m., so that 4 periods are distributed, each period 3 hours.
In a related context, Qalyubia Governorate announced that the time for reducing electrical loads will be increased, starting today, Tuesday, by 3 hours for those whose electricity is cut off for two hours, while for those whose electricity is cut off for one hour, it will become only two hours.
This comes in confirmation of what Masrawy published, that an informed source at the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company said that the past two days witnessed a significant increase in the consumption of diesel quantities supplied from petroleum to production companies, as the average daily consumption recorded 30 thousand tons of diesel per day and 25 million cubic meters of gas per day.
The source added that the high consumption of fuel and gas by power stations may put the Ministry of Petroleum in trouble due to the increase in diesel prices globally and the lack of sufficient production of natural gas, noting that the electricity supply may resort to increasing the period of load shedding to three hours, with the exception of schools and universities for academic examinations and industrial activities.
