The Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) decided to extend the period of conducting the inspections and payment of coded electricity metres to the end of December. He pointed out that the electricity sector, through the installation of pre-paid coded metres in slums, was able to eliminate part of the financial losses made from electricity thefts. The decision of the Council of Ministers provided for the installation of pre-paid coded metres based on their requests until 30 June 2018. The total installed pre-paid coded metres amounted to 1.8m. Installing the coded metres in slums is conducted as soon as users sign a declaration that the metre does not count as a legal document and that the property is not in violation of any laws.
