Representative Amal Abdel Hamid: The return of reducing electricity loads negatively affects citizens

Amal Abdel Hamid, a member of the Planning and Budget Committee in the House of Representatives, submitted a briefing request to Counselor Dr. Hanafi Jabali, Speaker of the House, addressed to the Prime Minister and the Ministers of Electricity and Petroleum, regarding the resumption of work on the plan to reduce electricity loads, after it was halted during the past month of Ramadan.

Abdul Hamid said: “The suspension of the load-reducing schedule began from the first day of the holy month of Ramadan until the end of the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which ended on Sunday, and work began again from 11 a.m. yesterday, Monday, until 5 p.m. for a maximum of one hour.”

Abdel Hamid added, “We must take into account the timing of implementing the load reduction plan, as this coincides with the beginning of students’ preparation at various levels in Egypt for exams, especially high school students. We must also take into account that reducing loads affects the administrative, commercial, and industrial sectors.”

Abdul Hamid indicated that next summer may record a new record in temperatures, which raises several questions to the Minister of Electricity regarding the possibility of a power outage for more than two hours if consumption increases, and what is the truth about what is being raised about excluding some areas from the load reduction plan, and when is the deadline for completion. From this crisis in Egypt.
