Ardabil Substation Becomes Operational

Energy Minister Reza Ardakanian on Thursday inaugurated a 230-kilovolt electrical substation in Germi in the northwestern Ardabil Province.
Ardakanian said the project, which has come on stream at a cost of 440 billion rials ($10.48 million), is expected to help stabilize power supply in the northeastern region, Mehr News Agency reported.
"The substation will boost the province's power transmission and distribution, reduce outages and help meet the demands of the agricultural and industrial sectors," he said.
The minister added that the venture is not the only electrical project in the green province, as several others are also currently underway.
