Peak Power Load to Surpass 73 GW

Peak power load is forecast to surpass 73,000 MW in the summer, a massive figure unseen in the history of power sector, the head of Iran Grid Management Company said.
“Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company’s [Tavanir] maximum output capacity is currently 62 gigawatts and as soon as demand exceeds the level, load shedding and power outages will start,” Mostafa Rajabi-Mashhadi was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
Electricity consumption nationwide jumped to 55,000 MW on Monday, up 20% or 9,000 MW compared with the same period in 2022, he added.
