Algeria is facing significant strain on its national power grid due to a prolonged heatwave. State-owned energy supplier Sonelgaz is advising citizens to limit the use of energy-intensive appliances during peak hours. These peak hours currently span five hours of the day, though specific times haven’t been detailed in this report. The extreme heat is not only impacting public health but also jeopardizing the stability of the electrical system. This cautionary measure aims to prevent potential power outages and maintain a reliable energy supply across the country. Sonelgaz’s advice is a response to increasing demand placed on the network amid the intense heat. The situation highlights the vulnerability of Algeria’s infrastructure to climate change.
