Khuzestan Hydropower Plants Going Off Grid

Power production from hydropower plants in Khuzestan Province has hit rock bottom, a deputy manager of the provincial power company said.
“Several hydroelectric power plants, including Karoun 1, Karoun 3, Karoun 4 and Masjed Soleyman, have gone off the grid because of water shortage in dams,” Kioumars Zamani was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
Karkheh and Dez dams in the southwestern province, which overflowed two years ago due to torrential and unprecedented rainfall, are now half empty and have difficulty supplying water not only for drinking but also for power generation, he added.
