This is one of three potential scenarios for electricity price increases \u2014 the other two are implementing the increases next month or postponing them until September.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This potential delay until early 2026 is largely driven by two factors.<\/strong> First, the energy sector has secured its natural gas needs at a price below global rates through recent short and medium-term agreements. Then, there is the decline in the EGP\/USD exchange rate \u2014 providing the government the flexibility needed to absorb the cost of pushing back these anticipated hikes, the source added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The proposed hikes? Up to 40% based on consumption:<\/strong> The proposed electricity price increases will range from 15% to 40%, with the exact percentage directly tied to customers\u2019 consumption tier, our source said. A government source <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/9cbac972-9580-493e-8844-b593d7006558\/cabinet-will-discuss-electricity-pricing-scenarios-this-week\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> us earlier this month that the Electricity Ministry proposed scenarios to the cabinet that include postponing any electricity hikes to September to shield citizens from inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The final decision hinges on key factors<\/strong>, according to our source. First, inflation indicators, as the Madbouly government seeks to ease the burden on citizens. Also, the state\u2019s financial capacity to absorb the subsidy cost is a significant consideration. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Electricity price hikes will be based on studies, which are expected to be finalized soon<\/strong>, taking into account the exchange rate forecasts and overall costs, the source said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Electricity consumption hit a <\/strong><strong>new peak<\/strong><strong> at 39.4 GW on Sunday<\/strong>, after a few days of extreme heat pushed energy demand to a series of record highs.
