Title: Scheduled Power Outages in Isfahan: Key Details for August 15, 2025
Official Power Outage Schedule Released
The definitive power outage schedule for Isfahan on Friday, August 15, 2025, has been announced, with detailed timing and affected areas available on official platforms such as the “My Electricity” app and the Isfahan Electricity Distribution Company’s website (epedc.ir). Residents can check outage times by entering their 13-digit electricity bill ID or locating their area on the provided map.
Exemptions and Notification Methods
Industrial sectors in Isfahan province will be exempt from power cuts during autumn and winter, while residential areas will experience outages every 2-3 days. Outside Isfahan city, outage schedules are published in tables, but within the city, residents receive updates via SMS and the “My Electricity” system.
Reasons Behind Planned Outages
The primary cause of these outages is the halt in mazut (heavy fuel oil) consumption in power plants since early September, a decision made to reduce environmental pollution. However, this has led to a 33% decline in power plant reserves, pushing the national grid into an emergency state. Government officials, including the presidential deputy, recently confirmed the implementation of “scheduled blackouts”—particularly in Tehran—to manage demand.
Impact on Households and Businesses
Power cuts during peak hours may significantly affect households and businesses. Authorities urge consumers to check outage schedules in advance to minimize disruptions and protect electrical appliances.
Government Measures and Renewable Energy Push
Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani emphasized that while blackouts are unavoidable, the decision prioritizes public health over mazut usage. Meanwhile, the government is accelerating investments in renewable energy, including solar, wind, and nuclear power, aiming to produce 30,000 megawatts of clean energy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
How to Stay Informed
Consumers can access real-time outage updates through:
- “My Electricity” app (for outage alerts and bill tracking)
- EPEDC website (epedc.ir) (for Isfahan-specific schedules)
- Tehran’s outage portal (tbtb.ir) (for capital residents)
- Dialing #121500 (for SMS updates)
Regional Variations
Some provinces, including Markazi, have no current plans for residential power cuts. However, nationwide implementation may expand as energy demands fluctuate.
Conclusion
With winter approaching and gas supply constraints increasing, scheduled outages aim to balance energy distribution. Residents are encouraged to plan ahead using official channels while the government works toward long-term sustainable solutions.
