Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi, on the sidelines of the 26th International Electricity Industry Exhibition of Iran, emphasized the significant capacities of the private sector in supplying the necessary equipment for the electrical industry, stating: "Almost all the equipment required for this industry is either produced domestically or supplied through the private sector, which indicates the prominent role of private sector actors in meeting the needs of the electrical industry."
The Role of the Private Sector in Technology Development
He stated that the activities of the private sector are not limited to supplying equipment, adding: "Companies active in this field are creating and developing new and up-to-date technologies that help the electrical industry keep pace with modern knowledge and technology." Additionally, in some areas, the required technologies are localized according to the country's conditions, which is a valuable initiative, and examples of this can be seen during visits to various sections of the exhibition.

Increase in Electricity Delivery to Energy-Intensive Industries
The Deputy Minister of Power and Energy referred to the process of electricity supply to the country's industrial sector, stating: "In the past four months, the amount of energy delivered to the country's energy-intensive industries has increased by 11%." Rajabi Mashhadi also pointed out the significant growth in electricity supply to petrochemical industries, emphasizing: "The amount of energy delivered to the country's petrochemical industries during this period has increased fivefold compared to the same period last year." This action was taken while these industries faced some limitations in energy supply, and the Ministry of Energy made efforts to meet part of their energy needs within the framework of the capacity and limitations of the electrical network.
He considered this action an effective step in supporting the productive sector of the country's economy and added: "Providing the necessary electricity for industries plays a crucial role in maintaining the operation of production units and preserving the country's production capacity."
Electricity Consumption Trends and a 25% Increase in Aban
Rajabi Mashhadi also referred to the trend of electricity consumption in the industrial sector, stating: "In the past month, electricity consumption in the country's industries has increased by 5%, which is a significant figure and indicates the possibility of delivering more electricity to the industrial sector despite the threats and sanctions facing the country."
He noted: "Since the beginning of Aban, we have also witnessed a 25% increase in electricity consumption in the industrial sector, which reflects the continuation of electricity supply and the increased utilization of electrical energy by industries."
