Egypt Halts Gas Supplies to Some Industries amid Supply Disruption from East
Taarek Refaat The Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources announced the activation of a previously prepared emergency plan for natural gas supply priorities in response to the military operations in the region and the disruption of gas supplies from the east. The ministry stated in a statement on Friday that natural gas supplies to some industrial activities will be halted, while power plants' diesel consumption will be increased to the maximum available amount. Coordination will also be made to operate some stations with diesel. This precautionary measure aims to preserve the stability of the natural gas network and prevent the need to reduce the electricity grid's load, pending the resumption of natural gas supply from the east. The ministry indicated that the three refueling vessels have already arrived in Egypt, with one vessel currently refueling and pumping gas into the national natural gas grid. The other two vessels are being prepared and docked at ports to begin pumping natural gas from them. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
