Electrical Efficiency a Long Way Off

An estimated 260 billion kilowatt hours of power is generated annually in Iran, of which 11% or 29 billion kWh is wasted during transmission to end-users and in power stations.
From generation to delivery to consumption, inefficiency at every step of the ‘power journey’ results in massive waste, ISNA reported.

Power wastage in Iran (11%) surpasses the global average (8.3%).
