The CEO of Tavanir, which is responsible for electricity energy supply in Iran, reported that 4500 megawatts of the country's power capacity has been damaged during the war. This figure highlights some of the challenges Iran faces in securing its electricity supply.
Impact on Energy Supply
Considering that Iran has faced electricity shortages this summer, damage to this amount of power capacity could impact energy supply during peak consumption days. The CEO of Tavanir pointed out that with the cooperation of the people, they have managed to reduce electricity demand and consumption by 3 percent, but this reduction is not sufficient, and there is a need for appropriate infrastructure and strengthening of power plants.

Need for Renovation and Upgrading
Damage to power plants is not only due to the war but also because of the lack of renovation and upgrading of equipment. Many of the country's power plants continue to operate with old and worn-out capacities, which reduces their efficiency and increases operational costs. Especially in a situation where Iran is seeking to enhance its energy security, the renovation and upgrading of these power plants is of high importance.
The CEO of Tavanir emphasized that to prevent further problems, there is a need for planning and investment in the country's electricity industry. This issue is highly significant as Iran faces multiple challenges in energy and electricity supply, and any damage to infrastructure could have serious consequences for the country's economy.
