The state-run Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) says the national grid cannot take a load higher than 60 gigawatts.
According to Bargh News website, if power demand (in the summertime) surpasses 59,500 megawatts, load shedding and outages will be inevitable.
Referring to the high and rising consumption in previous years, the website said in 2016 maximum power load was 53 GW and a year later soared to 57 GW.
