Egypt will begin to restrict electricity consumption, including ordering shops and cafes to close earlier, as the North African energy importer grapples with soaring global fuel prices caused by the war with Iran.
Starting March 28, shopping malls, food establishments, and retailers will be required to close by 9:00 PM five days a week. On weekends, they will need to close by 10:00 PM.
Other restrictions will include turning off illuminated billboards and reducing public lighting to a safe minimum. Many government buildings will also close by 6:00 PM, while authorities are considering mandatory work from home one or two days a week for both the public and private sectors.
