Tavanir Planning to Offset Summer Power Demand Hike

Tavanir has signed 478,000 contracts with heavy consumers (industrial and farming communities) to shift consumption from on-peak to off-peak hours

Electricity demand is expected to reach a peak of 70,000 megawatts in June, which will be 3,000 MW more than that of last year, the head of Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said.
"Peak power consumption was 61 gigawatts, 64 GW and 67 GW in 2019, 2020 and 2021 respectively," Arash Kordi was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven on Monday.
The Energy Ministry is expecting a power deficit of at least 10,000 MW between June and July, he added, noting that the figure stood at 15 GW last year.
