Title: Scheduled Power Outages in South Khorasan on August 10, 2025 – Timings for Birjand and Surrounding Areas
Planned Power Cuts Announced Amid Energy Conservation Efforts
South Khorasan’s Electricity Distribution Company has announced scheduled power outages for Sunday, August 10, 2025, affecting Birjand and other cities in the province. The measure is part of a strategic initiative to manage energy consumption during peak hours and prevent widespread, 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. Targeted power cuts are currently the most effective solution to maintain grid stability across the province and the nation.
Affected Areas and Public Notification
The company has released a detailed list of urban and rural areas subject to outages. Residents can check exact timings for their localities through the following platforms:
- South Khorasan Electricity Distribution website: www.skedc.ir (using a 13-digit bill ID)

- 24/7 hotline (121) for customer inquiries
Practical Tips to Minimize Disruptions
To mitigate inconvenience, authorities recommend:
- Checking outage schedules daily and planning essential tasks accordingly
- Fully charging critical devices (phones, laptops, modems) before outages
- Reducing high-consumption appliance usage during peak hours (1–6 PM and 8–11 PM)
- Using surge protectors or UPS systems for sensitive equipment
Conclusion
With water scarcity and energy production challenges, temporary outages in South Khorasan remain unavoidable. Timely public communication and smart energy conservation are key to navigating the summer demand surge smoothly.
