Egypt’s rationalization efforts saved 18,000 megawatt-hours in the first week

The official spokesperson for the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy, Mansour Abdel-Ghani, announced Saturday that Egypt’s rationalization efforts saved 18,000 megawatt-hours in the first week, in addition to saving nearly 3.5 million cubic meters of fuel.

This comes as ministry implements a comprehensive plan to rationalize electricity consumption in cooperation with various stakeholders.

Abdel-Ghani indicated that these savings reflect the success of the conservation measures implemented recently, which included regulating lighting in shops and public buildings and reducing unnecessary consumption.
