Sisi inaugurates energy projects as Egypt goes into surplus

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi inaugurated energy projects across Egypt as the country pumps up its electricity production surplus after years of power cuts that peaked in 2014.

Power cuts are a key factor behind massive street protests that led to the July 2013 ouster of Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Morsi by the military, headed at the time by President  Sisi. 

Mr. Sisi, elected President a year later, vowed to end power shortages especially after blackouts in the summer of 2014, amid high demand for cooling in the sweltering heat. 

The Head of Egypt's Administrative Control Authority, Mohamed Erfan, said the new projects include three stations that will produce fourteen thousand four hundred megawatts of electricity.
