Energy Minister Reza Ardakanian has warned that despite high precipitation in the spring, power cuts are likely in summer unless consumption is curbed, especially in the peak hours.
"Hydroelectric power plants are in good conditions and most dams are full. However, this does not mean that subscribers should not uphold judicious consumption patterns," the minister was quoted as saying by Mehr News agency Tuesday.
Iran has one of the highest water, electricity and gas consumption rates in the world that has caused immense anxiety in economic and environmental circles.
