The CEO of the Greater Tehran Electricity Distribution Company said: "This summer, the capital experienced one of the most effective periods of transition from peak electricity consumption to date by implementing smart consumption management plans, equipping high-consumption subscribers with smart meters, and effective subscriber participation."
The Director General of the Electricity Network Engineering and Management said about the successful implementation of the 100 Nights, 100 Visits project aimed at reducing the effects of electricity waste in the country: "This project has so far resulted in savings of 600 megawatts in electricity consumption."
An official said: "It is expected that during peak periods, electricity consumption will reach more than 80,000 megawatts, but the electricity industry has made every effort to ensure that the need for electricity consumption does not exceed 75,000 megawatts."
Referring to the extensive plan to install 5-kilowatt home solar panels, a spokesman for the electricity industry announced the purchase of electricity from these generators at attractive rates from subscribers.
Referring to the design and implementation of 36 consumption management packages in the country's electricity industry, the Director General of Energy and Customer Affairs of the Electricity Industry said: "These packages have been developed and implemented with the aim of reducing electricity consumption, overcoming the summer peak load, and providing sustainable energy."

While a repeat of the 20,000 MW imbalance of the summer of 1403 was predicted for the summer of 1404, the realization of the recent prediction of a 2-degree increase in summer temperatures compared to normal conditions will add 3,600 MW to peak electricity consumption.
Peak electricity demand in the 49th week of this year reached 47,155 MW, an increase of 5.51% compared to the same period last year.
