The director of engineering and strategy at Tavanir's distribution network announced that starting this week, all industrial zones in Iran will face electricity restrictions of one day per week, according to the Iranian news outlet Mizan.
Iran's state electricity company, Tavanir, has announced that starting this week, all industrial zones across the country will face one-day-per-week electricity restrictions. The directive was issued by the director of engineering and strategy at Tavanir's distribution network, as reported by the Iranian news outlet Mizan.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Iran's deepening energy crisis, including Tavanir's announcement of planned power outages for residential areas (July 14) and President Masoud Pezeshkian's instruction to cut power to government buildings while sparing industry (July 23). The new restrictions on industrial zones suggest that the government's earlier pledge to protect industry from blackouts is unraveling as the crisis intensifies.
The specific day of the week for the restrictions has not been disclosed. The announcement comes amid reports of broader economic strain and infrastructure challenges in Iran.
