Power Restrictions on Industrial Sector Lifted

Following a decline in temperature and electricity consumption by domestic users, in addition to growing action against illegal crypto miners, restrictions on power supply to the industrial sector have been lifted, Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi, spokesman of the Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (locally known as Tavanir), told IRNA.
In a letter to the Supreme National Security Council, the Iranian Steel Producers Association put steel mills’ losses due to power outages at $6 billion from the beginning of the current Iranian year (March 21) to Sept. 12.
According to ISPA, 82 complete days of productions were lost during the period due to power outages and 300,000 direct and indirect jobs were lost or restricted, the news portal of the association (Steeliran.org) reported.
Summer demand led to a severe power and water shortage in the past months in most regions, resulting in blackouts and dry taps.
