Egypt’s power grid records highest load of in 2025

Egypt’s national electricity grid recorded its highest load of the year on Thursday, reaching 37,600 megawatts, amid a sustained increase in energy consumption driven by soaring summer temperatures. According to the National Energy Control Center, power demand has risen by an average of 500 megawatts per day over the past three days.

The unified electricity grid successfully handled the elevated power loads and rising consumption amid soaring temperatures over the past few days, as the daily increases in demand and load levels are considered unprecedented for this time of year.

The Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy continued to raise the state of readiness across all sectors of the electricity system, including generation, transmission, and distribution, by intensifying the deployment of support, monitoring, and maintenance teams, as well as occupational health and safety units and inspection committees, to ensure the stability and security of the grid and the continuity of power supply.

The Ministry extended working hours at citizen service centers and reinforced the complaints and reporting system with follow-up teams, to ensure rapid response, track resolution times, and maintain direct communication with subscribers. These measures form part of a broader plan to improve service quality and uphold performance standards.
