Egypt says prepaid-meter charging is normal, details replacement of 365,000 meters

Egypt's electricity ministry has said prepaid-meter charging is functioning normally and detailed replacing 365,000 aging meters across its distribution companies.

• A ministry source said prepaid-meter charging operates normally across all meter types, denying rumors that charging for Iska IC meters had stopped.
• The source said 300,000 prepaid Iska IC meters operate under South Delta, Upper Egypt, and Middle Egypt distribution companies.
• The ministry detailed replacing about 365,000 old meters, with South Delta having replaced 30,000 of its 150,000 targeted so far.
• The source said halted external charging is linked to reviewing old meters with technical challenges when integrated into the unified charging system.
