Egypt's Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy announced on Wednesday that work has been completed on a new power cable for the Dahab Island transformer station in the Giza governorate, a measure aimed at ensuring a stable and continuous electricity supply to the area. In a statement, the ministry said that technical teams had finished drilling and pushing a tunnel under the railway and metro lines to extend and connect the additional feeder cable. The work also included technical tests and measurements, and the cable is now fully operational. The ministry said the new power source has been activated, while the old source, which had been repaired following a fault, will continue to operate as a backup. The electricity supply to areas served by the Dahab Island station is now permanent, stable, and secure, providing a radical solution to prevent future power outages, the statement added. The ministry also reaffirmed that the unified national electricity grid is "safe and stable." It noted that in recent days, the grid had successfully passed an unprecedented test, handling a record-breaking load of 39,400 megawatts amid a surge in consumption. The ministry said this was a measure of success for its maintenance, development, and modernisation programmes. The ministry continues to take necessary measures to ensure the security of the national grid and has raised the level of readiness across the entire system, including production, transmission, and distribution. The ministry also expressed its thanks and appreciation to the residents of the area for their cooperation and support of the technical teams during the work.
