🇪🇬 Egypt Implements Energy Rationing Amid Soaring Fuel Costs from Iran Conflict

Egypt has announced urgent measures to curb electricity and fuel consumption, including earlier closures for shops, malls, restaurants, and cafes (9 p.m. weekdays, 10 p.m. on weekends), reduced street and public lighting to minimum safe levels, and the deactivation of illuminated advertising billboards.

Government offices will close by 6 p.m. post-Eid Al-Fitr, with consideration for partial remote work in public and private sectors.

The steps, effective March 28 for one month, address a sharp rise in global energy prices driven by the ongoing Iran war.

Egypt's monthly natural gas import costs have surged from $560 million to $1.65 billion.

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly emphasized these temporary actions aim to maintain supply stability without widespread outages, with plans for review if the crisis eases.

The Haifa refinery (Bazan) is Israel’s largest and most critical fuel facility, supplying about 50–60% of the country’s fuel (≈60% diesel, 50% gasoline).

It processes roughly 197,000 barrels per day, meaning a large share of Israel’s transport, aviation, and military fuel depends on it.

Israel has only two refineries.
