Industries Eye Power Autonomy 

Major industries, including automakers, steel complexes, cement factories and petrochemical plants, will become totally independent of the Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) to meet their growing electricity demand over the next three years, spokesman of the state-run firm said.
“Industrial units have taken effective measures not to be at the mercy of Tavanir, one of which is the construction of their own power stations,” Mostafa Rajabi-Mashhadi was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
Thermal and renewable power plants with a total capacity of 14 gigawatts are being constructed by industrialists across the nation, he added, noting that when the scheme is implemented, industries will have no worries regarding electricity supply and outages.
