Power outages sweep Egypt during Eid al-Adha
Egyptians across the country complained of power outages during the Eid al-Adha holiday, without prior notice from electricity companies regarding outage times or regular maintenance. This interrupted their celebration of the holiday and even impacted high school students preparing for their final exams. It also damaged some electrical appliances. An official source at the Ministry of Electricity confirmed that there was no load shedding done in any area of the governorates, and that the cause of the outages was increased consumption and pressure on the networks. In Minya Governorate, Upper Egypt, residents of Samalut Center, north of the governorate, complained of repeated power outages in several areas, with outages lasting for more than three consecutive hours. In Beni Suef, various centers and neighborhoods in the governorate experienced repeated power outages. At Qalyubia, Nile Delta, the Mit Halfa area of Qalyub experienced a power outage on the second day of Eid al-Adha for more than four hours. The village's electricity official stated that the outage was due to a technical fault in one of the connections. The outage was eventually repaired and service was restored. Sharqiya saw a large number of Belbeis residents complain of power outages during the holiday, in addition to a weak power supply when it returned, which impacted the operation of electrical appliances. In Suez, residents of the 'Salam 1' area complained of a two-hour power outage during the day of Eid, amidst baking temperatures. Within the Bagour district, the Electricity Company announced a three-hour power outage from 6:00 am to 9:00 am as part of a plan to develop and improve the electrical grid. In Monufiya, residents expressed their discontent over the frequent power outages during Eid al-Adha. And in North Sinai, power was cut off in the villages of Sheikh Zuweid area due to a fault in the transformer supplying the area. The fault was repaired and electricity was restored immediately, according to an official source in the governorate's electricity company. Edited translation from Al-Masry Al-Youm

Sharm El-Sheikh Joins Global ICLEI Network as Egypt's First Green City
Sharm El-Sheikh launched 39 sustainability projects, including solar and green transport initiatives. Jun 09, 2025 Sharm El-Sheikh has officially joined ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability – becoming the first city in Egypt to be part of the international network dedicated to sustainable urban development. This step recognises the city's progress in implementing environmental reforms since 2018, when it hosted the UN Biodiversity Conference, and more recently, the 2022 UN Climate Change Conference (COP27). As part of preparations for COP27, nearly 39 environmental projects were carried out under presidential directives to transform Sharm El-Sheikh into a comprehensive green city. These included infrastructure upgrades such as 145 kilometres of bike lanes, the introduction of a public bike-sharing system, and the expansion of electric and solar-powered public transport. Renewable energy investments reached EGP 800 million, resulting in a solar power production capacity of 51 megawatts. Community-led waste management programmes were also introduced to encourage recycling and reduce overall consumption. Preservation efforts have extended to Ras Mohammed National Park, where biodiversity protection programmes are being updated to safeguard over 3,000 marine species. Behavioural change has also been identified as key to the city's green transformation, with public campaigns promoting reduced resource use and wider adoption of clean energy. While Sharm El-Sheikh is the first Egyptian city to join ICLEI, El-Kharga in the New Valley Governorate was previously recognised as a green city by the Arab League. Egypt's broader sustainability strategy is expected to bring more cities into international sustainability networks in the near future.
