Statutory Reference Matrix: EgyptERA Residential Electricity Slabs
The table below provides the full statutory schedule of Egypt's residential electricity brackets, unit rates, and customer service fees:
| Consumption Slab | Monthly Range | Statutory Tariff (Piasters/kWh) | Statutory Tariff (EGP/kWh) | Customer Service Fee (EGP) | Threshold Rollover Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slab 1 (الشريحة الأولى) | 0 to 50 kWh | 68 Piasters | EGP 0.68 | EGP 1.00 | Applies only if total usage ≤ 100 kWh |
| Slab 2 (الشريحة الثانية) | 51 to 100 kWh | 78 Piasters | EGP 0.78 | EGP 2.00 | Applies only if total usage ≤ 100 kWh |
| Slab 3 (الشريحة الثالثة) | 0 to 200 kWh | 95 Piasters | EGP 0.95 | EGP 6.00 | If usage > 100 kWh, billed retroactively from unit 0! |
| Slab 4 (الشريحة الرابعة) | 201 to 350 kWh | 155 Piasters | EGP 1.55 | EGP 11.00 | Marginal progressive slab |

Statutory Billing Mechanics: EgyptERA Regulatory Framework
The Egyptian Electric Utility and Consumer Protection Regulatory Agency enforces strict mathematical mechanisms to incentivize energy conservation:
100 kWh Subsidized Rollover Mechanism
The government provides heavy subsidies for low-consumption households consuming up to 100 kWh monthly (Slabs 1 and 2). However, once a household exceeds 100 kWh, the low-tier subsidy is withdrawn, and the initial 200 kWh block is calculated entirely under Slab 3 at 0.95 EGP/kWh.
1,000 kWh Heavy Consumer Surcharge
To prevent luxury power subsidization, any household whose consumption exceeds 1,000 kWh during a single month loses all bracket step-ups. Instead of progressive tiers, the total consumption from kWh zero is multiplied by a flat 2.23 EGP rate, resulting in a substantial cliff jump in total bill cost.
Monthly Calendar Reset Dynamics
For prepaid electronic card meters, the electronic meter chip automatically resets consumption back to Slab 1 at 00:00 on the first day of each calendar month. Understanding bracket thresholds allows consumers to budget electricity recharge amounts strategically.

Frequently Asked Questions (Egypt Electricity Tariffs)
How are domestic electricity tariffs structured in Egypt by EgyptERA?
EgyptERA divides residential electricity into seven progressive slabs: Slab 1 (0–50 kWh @ 0.68 EGP), Slab 2 (51–100 kWh @ 0.78 EGP), Slab 3 (0–200 kWh @ 0.95 EGP), Slab 4 (201–350 kWh @ 1.55 EGP), Slab 5 (351–650 kWh @ 1.95 EGP), Slab 6 (651–1,000 kWh @ 2.10 EGP), and Slab 7 (> 1,000 kWh @ 2.23 EGP for the entire consumption).
What happens when monthly electricity consumption exceeds 100 kWh in Egypt?
If consumption exceeds 100 kWh, the consumer loses entitlement to the low-income subsidized rates of Slabs 1 and 2. Instead, all initial 200 kWh units are retroactively calculated under Slab 3 at a uniform rate of 0.95 EGP per kWh.
What is the penalty tariff for consuming over 1,000 kWh per month?
Consumers whose monthly consumption exceeds 1,000 kWh are stripped of all statutory tier subsidies. Their entire monthly electricity consumption from kilowatt-hour zero is billed at a flat rate of 2.23 EGP per kWh, plus the maximum customer service fee of EGP 40.00.
What are customer service fees (مقابل خدمة العملاء) on Egyptian electric bills?
Customer service fees are fixed statutory administrative charges tiered according to consumption bracket, ranging from EGP 1.00 for Slab 1 up to EGP 40.00 for Slab 7, intended to cover meter maintenance, network upkeep, and billing administrative expenses.
Are prepaid electronic card meters billed at the same rates bills?
Yes. Prepaid card meters (عداد كارت إلكتروني) and traditional postpaid bills (عداد فاتورة) adhere to the exact same statutory tariff slabs and customer service fees determined by EgyptERA. In prepaid meters, slab resets occur automatically on the first day of each calendar month.
