Understanding the Need for Planned Interruptions
Scheduled power interruptions in major urban centers like Mashhad are a standard utility management practice globally, often necessitated by a combination of factors including seasonal spikes in consumption, necessary maintenance on grid infrastructure, and the critical need to preempt more severe, widespread blackouts. These managed measures are essential for safeguarding the long-term health and reliability of the national power infrastructure.
