Scheduled Power Management for Wednesday: Provincial Timings Announced
In response to an unprecedented surge in national electricity consumption, regional power distribution networks are implementing necessary consumption management programs. These measures, deemed essential for maintaining grid stability and preventing unplanned, widespread outages, will be in effect on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025.
A Necessary Step for National Infrastructure
The regional electric company has announced that these scheduled programs are a direct and responsible response to significant pressure on the power grid. The peak consumption hours are forecast to occur between 4:00 PM and 10:00 PM. The company has called upon all citizens and valued subscribers to participate in this national effort by responsibly reducing their electricity usage during this critical window.
Conscious efforts to minimize the use of high-consumption appliances—such as air conditioners, electric water heaters, and similar devices—will have a substantial impact on preserving the balance and health of the national power grid. The company expressed gratitude for the cooperation of its subscribers and expressed confidence that with proper consumption management, this sensitive period will be successfully navigated.
Official Channels for Information
Continuous updates regarding affected areas and precise implementation schedules will be provided through the company’s official website, SMS alert systems, and local media outlets. Citizens are encouraged to consult the direct links to their provincial power distribution companies for the most accurate and localized information.

Political Focus: Leadership Calls for Equitable and Managed Implementation
The necessity of these measures has been acknowledged at the highest levels of government. In a session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, the Speaker of the Parliament, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, addressed the situation, emphasizing public acceptance of necessary outages but a strong rejection of disorder and inequity in their application.
“The people accept power outages in some places, but they do not accept disorder and injustice in power cuts,” Ghalibaf stated. He highlighted that a combination of managerial, production, distribution, and consumption challenges must be addressed, with the nation’s Seventh Development Plan serving as the foundational document for solutions.
The Speaker underscored the critical need for precise, detailed management to ensure fairness, particularly for industrial investors and subscribers who have paid for guaranteed service. He called for transparent, time-bound action plans from the Ministry of Energy and relevant parliamentary commissions to resolve institutional challenges within the energy sector, ensuring a reliable and sustainable power supply for all Iranians.
