Title: South Khorasan Announces Scheduled Power Outages for Friday, August 15, 2025 – Birjand Timings Included
Planned Power Cuts Due to Energy Conservation Measures
South Khorasan’s Electricity Distribution Company has announced scheduled power outages for Friday, August 15, 2025, affecting Birjand and other cities in the province. The decision comes as part of strategic energy management efforts to mitigate strain on the power grid during peak consumption hours and prevent unplanned blackouts.
Causes Behind the Outages
Rising summer temperatures have led to unprecedented electricity demand, particularly for cooling systems. Simultaneously, reduced water resources and fuel supply constraints for power plants have diminished electricity generation capacity. Controlled outages remain a necessary measure to ensure grid stability across the province and the nation.

Practical Tips to Minimize Disruptions
To ease the impact of outages, citizens are advised to:
- Check daily outage schedules and plan essential tasks accordingly.
- Fully charge devices like phones, modems, and laptops beforehand.
- Reduce high-consumption appliance usage during peak hours (1:00 PM–6:00 PM and 8:00 PM–11:00 PM).
- Use surge protectors or UPS systems for sensitive equipment.
Conclusion
With water scarcity and energy production challenges, temporary outages in South Khorasan are unavoidable. Proactive awareness and efficient electricity use remain key to navigating the summer demand surge smoothly.
