Cabinet announces Egypt’s power outage plan will be lifted by end of summer

The government put the plan in place on July 17, brought on by increased electricity consumption due to searing heatwaves across the nation.

The plan involved cutting off electricity  at throughout the country to reduce daily consumption, which had risen to up to 36 gigawatts.

Cabinet spokesperson Nader Saad announced that the power cuts in Egypt are expected to continue for the first 14 days of September.
