Minister Abbas Aliabadi's remarks at an event organized today in
Kermanshah Province to mark the completion and commissioning of
electricity projects.
“The current government of Iran is trying to direct electricity
to the activities of production facilities. A comprehensive roadmap
has been prepared for the serious provision of electricity to
industrial plants. So that the needs of industrial facilities and
factories are met in order to provide more GDP in the country,” he
said.
Aliabadi noted that investment is needed to provide electricity.
In order to attract investment, reforms should be carried out in
the economic aspect of the industrial sector, and the price of this
valuable product should be changed. Motivation should be created to
save electricity. If the price of electricity is balanced, it will
be worthwhile to save.

the largest potential for the production of renewable energies.

Despite the sanctions imposed on Iran and all the difficulties, the
country will continue its best efforts in this direction.
