Power Outage Inflicts $900 in Daily Losses on Small Industries

Power outage in small industrial units causes up to $900 in losses per day, according to the deputy head of Iran’s Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture’s Industries Commission. 
“A small industrial unit with 50 workers lose 150 hours of work during a three-hour power outage,” Abbas Jabalbarezi was quoted as saying by ILNA.
As per the business environment law, an industrial unit must not be prioritized for power outage and if this happens, the government must compensate their losses.
With the onset of summer and rising power consumption in the capital, sporadic power cuts have started in some of the Iranian provinces.
Customers are likely to experience load shedding when a utility lowers or stops electricity distribution across an area for a short period, which is commonly referred to as a rolling blackout.
