Iran’s Power Grid Faces Pressure as Temperatures Soar
With temperatures set to rise in the coming days, Iran’s electricity demand is expected to surge significantly, prompting urgent calls for stricter monitoring and public cooperation to prevent shortages. Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi, CEO of Iran’s Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution Company (Tavanir), warned of increased consumption due to rising heat and continued daily activities, emphasizing the need for precise control and conservation measures.
Key Measures to Reduce Consumption
During a meeting with energy officials, including Deputy Energy Minister Homayoun Haeri and Mohsen Zabihi, Deputy for Distribution Coordination, Rajabi Mashhadi outlined critical steps to manage electricity usage:
- Reducing non-essential lighting in public and private spaces.
- Optimizing cooling systems in residential and commercial buildings.
- Enhancing cooperation from businesses and government offices to curb excessive consumption.
He praised the efforts of power industry professionals, whose proactive measures have so far prevented the severe shortages experienced in previous years. However, he stressed that further optimization is needed, particularly in the agricultural and industrial sectors, where efficiency improvements remain possible.
Public Participation Vital for Stability
Rajabi Mashhadi emphasized that public cooperation is essential to ensure a stable power supply during peak demand periods. By adhering to conservation guidelines, citizens can help the national grid avoid disruptions and maintain reliable service throughout the summer.
Acknowledging Industry Efforts
The Tavanir CEO commended the dedication of Iran’s power sector workforce, stating that their efforts have been instrumental in managing consumption under challenging conditions. He expressed confidence that continued vigilance and public support would enable the country to navigate the summer’s peak demand with minimal issues.
As temperatures climb, authorities urge all sectors to prioritize energy efficiency to safeguard Iran’s power infrastructure and ensure uninterrupted supply for essential needs.
