Egypt extends Sunday remote work measure through July to reduce power consumption

This measure, initially introduced in late March, aims to reduce power consumption amidst disruptions to global energy supplies and rising energy prices. The decision extends the provisions of Prime Ministerial Decree No. 982 of 2026, which mandates one day of remote work per week, with exceptions for roles requiring in-person attendance. This is part of a broader package of steps by Egypt to conserve energy, including cuts to street and road lighting.
