The Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) has activated its contract with e-finance to bring the electronic collection of electricity bills into force.

The nine companies include North Cairo Electricity Distribution Company, South Cairo Electricity Distribution Company, Alexandria Electricity Distribution Company, El-Behera Electricity Distribution Company, North Delta Electricity Distribution Company, South Delta Electricity Distribution Company, Canal Electricity Distribution Company, Middle Egypt Electricity Distribution Company, and Upper Egypt Electricity Production Company.
