Industrial Firms Sign Agreement for Optimizing Power, Curbing Pollution

To optimize power consumption in industrial units, the Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran and the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization (Satba) have signed a contract to replace dilapidated industrial electromotor with hi-tech electrical machines, a deputy manager at IDRO said.
“Of the total power consumed in industries, close to 67% are used by electric motors that have outlived their usefulness,” Farshad Moqimi was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
Industries consume close to 110,000 gigawatt hours of power annually, of which two-thirds are wasted in electric motors that are not energy-efficient and waste a huge amount of electricity, he added.
