Until August 24, 42 days and 42 times, we exceeded last year's electricity demand with incredible numbers.
A number of representatives in favor of Abbas Aliabadi's plans proposed by the Minister of Energy explained their views.
The investment director of the National Development Fund announced the financing of 3.5 billion dollars of the fund in power plant and renewable energy projects and steam units and combined cycle power plants to solve the problem of inconsistencies.
The CEO of Ahvaz Electricity Distribution Company said: With the continuous cooperation of citizens in these upcoming hot days, the stability of the electricity network will be achieved.
The CEO of Tavanir Company said: Illegal mining of cryptocurrencies is one of the factors that has increased the unusual records of electricity demand in the country these days.
The Secretary of the Electricity Industry Syndicate said: We must spend 20 to 25 billion dollars in the electricity industry in the next 4 years to have 130,000 megawatts of power plant capacity and leave today's imbalance behind.
The spokesperson of the electricity industry announced: The country's electricity consumption showed an increase of 7,000 megawatts compared to the same period last year, which is a large number for a Friday and a holiday.
One of the plans of the Ministry of Energy to manage electricity consumption is to encourage customers who consume well and fine those who consume a lot, and as announced, if the customers are not sensitive to consumption and are in the group of customers who consume a lot, they should expect heavy bills.
The CEO of Tavanir Company said: The increasing trend of using air conditioners in temperate regions of the country adds 3 thousand megawatts to the electricity consumption of the country.
The Minister of Energy said: The country's peak electricity consumption has so far exceeded the peak consumption of the previous year by 23 times, and this situation makes the operation of the electricity industry difficult.
