Since the beginning of summer and the rise in power consumption, electricity used by households has increased by ۴% compared to last year and this trend is expected to continue with the rise in temperature in the coming weeks, the energy minister said.
“Currently, the temperature in the southern, eastern and central regions of Iran is high, and in the next five weeks, the temperature will increase in all regions and lead to higher power consumption in all sectors. This situation requires a more accurate management of electricity supply and consumption,” Ali Akbar Mehrabian was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven.
