Egypt has completed 90 per cent of the planned natural gas delivery works for the first phase of the “Decent Life” (Haya Karima) presidential initiative, Petroleum Minister Karim Badawi said on Tuesday. The agreement aims to supply Lebanon’s Deir Ammar power station with natural gas for electricity generation. Badawi said the deal aligns with Egypt’s objective to strengthen its role as a regional hub for natural gas trade by receiving and re-exporting gas. He noted that the ministry is maintaining safety awareness campaigns and regular monitoring of natural gas networks to ensure public safety. To bolster national production, the Petroleum Minister highlighted the signing of several agreements with leading international companies.
