President Abdel Fattah El Sisi met on Monday with Electricity Minister Mohamed Shaker, lauding the ongoing efforts to upgrade the electricity sector in Egypt.
During the meeting, the president reviewed the current situation in the power sector and efforts to meet people's needs of electricity, presidential spokesman Alaa Youssef said.
The minister pointed out that the power production volume is achieving surplus despite that a number of power stations in the urgent plan have not been finalized.
The minister attributed the increase in power output to the end of maintenance works of power plants and the operation of a number of new units in the urgent plan.
He updated the president on developments of setting up three power plants with Siemens company.
The first plant will come into service in December 2016 at a capacity of 4,400 megawatt then the two other ones will be gradually operational by May 2018 at a capacity of 14,400 megawatt.
