The Giza Governorate has launched an extensive public awareness campaign title “#YourConsumption_MatchesYourNeed,” aiming to boost community awareness about the importance of energy rationalization and promote positive behavior in electricity use.
Governor of Giza, Adel al-Naggar, affirmed that the campaign is part of a comprehensive national plan to tackle current energy challenges.
He noted that the governorate immediately began implementing the following measures:
- Reducing street and road lighting by 60 percent without compromising safety or traffic security.
- Disconnecting electricity and appliances in government buildings daily starting at eight pm.
- Prohibiting the illumination of street billboards between nine pm and midnight.
- Enforcing closing times for commercial shops and malls in accordance with Cabinet decrees.
- Decreasing general lighting in public squares, event halls, and some shops during daylight hours, while ensuring air conditioning units are turned off before leaving offices.
