Industries Keen on Generating Their Own Electricity

Big power users, including automakers, steel complexes and cement factories who say load shedding will sound the death knell of their industry, want the government to pass regulations to help them generate their own electricity because they no longer want to be at the mercy of the state-run Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir), the Energy Ministry's deputy for economic and planning department said.
“Industries want us to pave the way for them to build their own small-scale power stations to be used during peak demand when they have to turn off all their equipment,” Mohsen Bakhtiar was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
