Iran's state power company Tavanir announced planned electricity outages in Tehran beginning tomorrow
By Bernard Moerdler,
Iran's state power company Tavanir announced planned electricity outages in Tehran beginning tomorrow, attributing them to a sharp rise in temperatures and a significant increase in consumption in the capital. The Greater Tehran Electricity Distribution Company said the rolling cuts would be imposed to maintain the stability of the city's power grid.
The official explanation comes as strikes have hit power infrastructure across parts of Iran in recent days, including near the power plant on Kish Island, as we reported earlier. Sources indicate to BNN that damage to the power network, rather than the heat, is driving the cuts.
