Egypt prices a household month by the band it lands in, and the band reprices everything you used. This works out the bill at the August 2026 rates, names your band, and shows how close you are to the line where the price jumps.

Egypt does not price household electricity in simple blocks. Your whole month falls into one consumption band, and that band sets the rates for everything you used — so crossing a boundary reprices the month, not just the extra units. Above 650 kWh the entire month is charged at a single rate.
The tariff rose on 1 August 2026, and this page uses the new figures. EgyptERA itself has not republished its own table — the link from the regulator's own home page has 404'd since before the increase and still does — so these are not the regulator's own numbers. They are the table three independent outlets (Youm7, Masrawy and Enterprise, the last quoting the Ministry of Electricity's own statement) now print identically, and its unchanged rows reproduce EgyptERA's last official table exactly, which is the strongest corroboration available without the regulator itself. We would rather say plainly where these figures come from than leave you adding 12% by hand, or show you a table already six weeks out of date.
The figures are EgyptERA's household tariff («الاستخدامات المنزلية»), in force from the August 2026 consumption month. They are published in piastres per kilowatt-hour; shown here in Egyptian pounds.
The whole ladder
Each sloping run is one band. The dashed vertical lines between them are the repricing: at those points the bill jumps, it does not slope.

Where the price jumps
50 kWh to go before you leave 101 to 1000 kWh a month («المستهلك من 101 إلى 1000 ك.و.س»).
Using 1 kWh more than that costs an extra EGP 412.85 — not for that one unit, but because the whole month is repriced. EGP 1,142.00 → EGP 1,554.85

Your band
101 to 1000 kWh a month («المستهلك من 101 إلى 1000 ك.و.س»)
EgyptERA heads this band «101 إلى 1000», but the rates it lists stop at 650 kWh — anyone above 650 falls into the next band instead. That is the published table, reproduced here unchanged rather than tidied up.
Customer service charge («مقابل خدمة العملاء»)EgyptERA sets this per subscriber per month, in force since August 2024 and untouched by the August 2026 energy-price change. Its steps deliberately do not line up with the energy bands: it splits 101–200, 201–350 and 351–650 while the energy band is one 101–650 band. A meter read at zero, or a closed one («المقروء بصفر والمغلق»), pays EGP 9.

The published ladder
The operator’s own table. A band is chosen by your consumption; the rates inside it are then applied from zero.
Up to 100 kWh a month
EgyptERA prints these two rates directly under the household heading, with no band title of their own. Inside this band the rates are marginal: the first 50 kWh at one price, the next 50 at another.

These are the August 2026 rates, about 12% above the ones EgyptERA last officially published. If a bill or a number elsewhere looks lower, it is probably the old April 2026 table.
What the operator states alongside the table
Checked again on 17 September 2026: EgyptERA's current-tariff page («TarrifApril2026.aspx») still returns a 404, and its tariff archive has published nothing for the August increase. That is the regulator's own broken link, not ours.
Prices apply on the basis of a 0.92 power factor («الاسعار تطبق على أساس معامل قدرة 0.92»).
The stamp duties EgyptERA lists under the tariff («قيمة التمغات») are not shown here: the value column of that table is published empty, so there is no figure to give.
VAT on residential electricity is not shown here either. We could not verify it against a published source, and a number we cannot check does not belong on the page.
This works out what the published tariff says a month of that size costs. Your actual bill can differ — an estimated reading, a meter changeover, arrears, or a prepaid card top-up all move the number.
EgyptERA states that these prices are set according to the exchange rate announced by the Central Bank and the fuel prices set by the Cabinet, and that the tariff is to be reconsidered whenever the exchange rate or fuel prices change («الاسعار محددة وفقاً لسعر الصرف المعلن من البنك المركزي واسعار الوقود المحددة من مجلس الوزراء على أن يتم إعادة النظر في التعريفة في حال تغير سعر الصرف أو أسعار الوقود»). That is the trigger to re-check this page against the official table — not a fixed date.
