Title: Alborz Province Power Outage Schedule for August 15, 2025: Key Updates and Government Measures
Power Outage Schedule Announced for Alborz Province
The official power outage schedule for Alborz Province on Friday, August 15, 2025, has been released and is accessible through authorized platforms such as the My Electricity app and related websites. The detailed timetable helps residents plan accordingly by specifying outage times and affected areas.
While no fixed schedule has been published for Alborz, citizens can check real-time updates via the My Electricity system or by dialing 121. Masoud Khajevand, CEO of Alborz Electricity Distribution Company, explained that withholding a fixed schedule aims to prevent cable theft and misuse. Reports indicate sporadic outages, with some residents experiencing two short disruptions (totaling under two hours) in a single day, while others may go days without outages.
Reasons Behind Planned Power Outages
A key factor behind the outages is the government’s decision to halt mazut (heavy fuel oil) consumption in power plants since early September 2024 due to environmental concerns. This policy has reduced Iran’s power reserves by 33%, prompting controlled outages to stabilize the grid. Government Spokesperson Fatemeh Mahjourian confirmed that “scheduled outages” are now in effect, prioritizing public health over fuel alternatives.
How to Stay Informed
Residents can check the Tehran Electricity Distribution Company website (tbtb.ir) or the My Electricity app for outage schedules. Key methods include:
- Online Portal: Enter bill IDs for outage details.
- SMS Code #121500: Dial for instant updates.
- Mobile App: My Electricity provides real-time alerts and outage tracking.
Government Initiatives for Sustainable Energy
President Ebrahim Raisi has emphasized transitioning to clean energy, holding meetings with investors to expand solar, wind, and nuclear power projects—targeting 30,000 megawatts of renewable energy. This shift aims to reduce fossil fuel dependency and enhance grid stability.
Impact on Households and Businesses
Outages during peak hours may disrupt homes and businesses. Authorities urge citizens to:
- Avoid high-consumption appliances during outages.
- Monitor schedules to minimize inconvenience.
Regional Variations
Some provinces, like Markazi, currently have no residential outage plans, while others report staggered disruptions. The government assures that outages are temporary, lasting two hours daily, with Tehran divided into 24 zones for equitable distribution.
Conclusion
The outages reflect Iran’s commitment to environmental and energy reforms. Citizens are encouraged to use official channels for updates and support the transition toward sustainable power solutions.
Note: Outage schedules are subject to change based on grid demands and government directives.
