<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arabia Weather - Rising temperatures pose a major threat to the infrastructure, which directly affects electricity. With temperatures reaching nearly fifty degrees Celsius, electricity companies and generators are suffering in many Arab countries, prompting governments to take exceptional measures to reduce loads, including these. Countries:</p><ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Egypt</strong></h3></li></ul><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In Egypt, the duration of reducing electrical loads was increased from one hour to three hours per day due to the shortage of fuel and natural gas needed to operate power plants, as electricity consumption exceeded 35 thousand megawatts.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Kuwait</strong></h3></li></ul><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> As for Kuwait, which usually witnesses the highest rates of temperature rise in the world, it has begun implementing a programmed cut of electricity in some areas as a precautionary measure to confront the great pressure on the electricity network. The Ministry announced the possibility of continuing this measure during peak periods to ensure network stability and prevent any unplanned outages.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Many Arab countries called on citizens to rationalize electricity consumption, especially with regard to the use of cooling devices. These decisions reflect the major challenges faced by the infrastructure in the region in light of its lack of readiness to cope with temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8m5WB9hfOZ/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_... data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF;
