Unlike other countries where the energy intensity rate (total energy consumption per unit of GDP) has witnessed a downtrend in the last decade, statistics show a massive uptrend in Iran in the given period.
Mostafa Rajabi-Mashhadi, the spokesman of electricity industry, made the statement on the sidelines of a seminar themed “Energy in Steel Industry” in Tehran on Wednesday, the Energy Ministry’s news portal reported.
Iran’s energy intensity rate is nearly twofold higher than that of other countries, he added, noting that based on data from academic studies, the average power consumption to manufacture goods and provide services in Iran is at least two times more than the global average.
