Iran Power Deficit Could Result in Load Shedding

Electricity consumption peaked to 47,400 megawatts on Saturday – up 8% compared to the corresponding period a year ago, planning and economic affairs deputy manager at the state-affiliated Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said Sunday.
"Tavanir's maximum generation capacity is 59 GW and network load is projected to surpass 61 GW this summer," Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi was quoted as saying by ISNA.
The 3,000 MW deficit will have to be compensated by load shedding and power outages that will affect industrial units and household sectors unless consumption slows between early July to September.
