Khuzestan Power Grid to Be Insulated With GIS

To improve stability in power supply in Khuzestan Province and reduce outages, 12 gas-insulated substations will become operational soon, Khuzestan's governor general said.
"Installing GIS systems cost twice as much as regular substations, but they play a key role in reducing power cuts in regions where sandstorms are a near permanent feature," Gholamreza Shariati was quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry's news portal on Tuesday.
