Scheduled Power Management in Shiraz: A Proactive Measure for Grid Stability
In a move to ensure the continued stability and reliability of the national power grid, the Fars Regional Electric Company has announced a scheduled power management program for various districts of Shiraz on Sunday, September 8, 2024. This pre-planned initiative is a standard operational procedure for effective energy consumption management during periods of high demand, safeguarding the infrastructure from potential overloads.
Announced Schedule for September 8
The company has released a timed schedule for different areas of the city. Citizens are encouraged to consult the official company website or contact support centers for the most precise and up-to-date information for their specific locality.
A sample of the announced schedule includes:
- Central Shiraz: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
- Eastern Shiraz: 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM
- Western Shiraz: 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM
- Southern Shiraz: 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM
Please note that these times are subject to change based on real-time grid conditions.
Rationale Behind the Scheduled Management
The implementation of such programs is a common and responsible utility practice worldwide. Seasonal increases in electricity consumption, particularly during the winter months with heightened use of heating appliances, can place significant demand on power generation and distribution systems. These managed schedules are a necessary and proactive measure to prevent unplanned blackouts and ensure the long-term health and efficiency of the national power infrastructure for all citizens.
Guidance for Residents
To minimize inconvenience, residents are advised to:
- Plan essential activities outside of the announced hours for their area.
- Practice energy conservation by minimizing unnecessary electricity use.
- Charge essential devices such as mobile phones and power banks in advance.
- Ensure electrical safety by unplugging sensitive electronics to protect them from potential power surges when the electricity is restored.
Staying Informed
The Fars Regional Electric Company has provided multiple channels for citizens to access the most accurate and timely information:
- The official website of the Fars Regional Electric Company.
- The dedicated “My Electricity” (Bargh-e Man) mobile application, which allows users to manage services and receive updates digitally.
- Official customer service hotlines published in company announcements.
This transparent and coordinated approach allows for effective public planning and underscores the commitment to maintaining a robust and reliable energy network for the nation.
