The Ministry of Electricity denied today, Monday, the doubling of the electricity tariff.

The official spokesperson for the Ministry of Electricity, Ahmed Turki Jiyad, stated in a statement received by the news agency Video that "what some media outlets and social media platforms have circulated regarding the doubling of the electricity tariff is entirely incorrect and not based on any official decision."

He explained that "the current tariff rates remain unchanged, and any amendments to them will be announced exclusively through the ministry's official channels."

He urged "citizens and media outlets to be precise and to source information from official sources."
