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.
In an announcement, Tehran Bozor Electricity Distribution Company asked the people of Tehran to reduce their electricity consumption.
The Secretary of the Cement Industry Employers' Association announced the agreement with the Ministry of Energy to reduce the restrictions of units in the central regions (Tehran) from this week.
Director General of the Engineering and Management Office of Tavanir Network said: The sharp increase in temperature has caused a sharp increase in electricity consumption, so that this year we experienced 6 thousand megawatts more consumption than last year.
Stating that about 35,000 megawatts of the country's total electricity is consumed in cooling systems (coolers), the spokesperson of the electricity industry said: Changing the temperature of the cooler and setting it to 24 degrees alone reduces consumption by 20%.
The Director General of the Bureau of Economy, Investment and Regulation of the Water and Electricity Market said: The electricity industry is a specialized industry whose politicization can cause many mistakes. It is unprofessional and unethical to analyze macro trend indicators with a phenomenon called elections and attribute unrealistic attributes to the performance of governments.
