Egypt to raise electricity interconnection capacity with Jordan

Egypt is set to increase its electricity interconnection capacity with Jordan to 2,000 megawatts (MWs), said Egyptian Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly on Monday.

The capacity is set to go up from 550 MWs available now to transmit power to other countries. Madbouly added that the project is to be executed over various stages.

The statements were made during the 31st session of the Egyptian-Jordanian Joint Committee which started on Saturday and ended on Monday.
