Rahma Ramadan wrote Thursday, July 20, 2023 11:45 AM Dr. Muhammad Shaker confirmed, Minister of Electricity And renewable energy, the only solution currently to get out of the crisis of outages resulting from load mitigation is to rationalize electricity consumption to reduce pressure on the gas network until it returns in a strong way.

Shaker added, in exclusive statements to “The Seventh Day”, that rationalizing consumption is necessary and inevitable during these days to contribute to reducing the hours of outages resulting from lightening loads due to the lack of fuel, saying, “I turned off the air conditioning in my house to contribute to reducing pressure on the network.”

Shaker added that loads are expected to decrease during the next 3 days due to the official holiday until next Sunday, which will contribute to reducing electricity consumption and thus reducing pressure on the gas network.

Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister, confirmed during the government meeting that was held today, that it started two days ago to reduce electricity loads, as a result of the severe heat wave that we are currently witnessing, and the significant increase in electrical energy consumption, which was also reflected in the increase in the volume of consumption. The gas used in the production of electricity, and severe pressure on its networks, which led to a decrease in gas pressures in the networks connected to the power stations.

And the Prime Minister continued: With the decrease in these pressures, it was started two days ago to reduce the loads, so that the normal pressures of the gas network can be reached, pointing to continuing to reduce the loads alternately, until the middle of next week, so that the network regains its pressure from the gas, explaining that the sharp rise in degrees The heat caused significant effects on a number of different countries, saying: “We are currently in a period of temporary load easing until the network restores normal pressures.”
