100 steps to provide sustainable electricity in a conversation with the Minister of Energy / Self-sufficiency in the construction of power plants is the result of supporting the production of knowledge-based

According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, the slogan of the year as explaining the policy of the country in 365 days, in the years 98, 99 and 1400 was dedicated to the issue of prosperity and leap of production.

In this regard, in 1401, the issue of production for the fourth consecutive 12-month period entitled “manufacturing; Knowledge-based, job-creating » It was considered by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution.

Attention to the issue of knowledge-based products has always been considered by the Supreme Leader in recent years, and he has repeatedly linked the treatment of the country’s economic problems to the development of knowledge-based units. An issue that can provide the basis for solving many of the challenges of the economic environment and form an accurate explanation of the resistance economy in the country.

In this regard, one of the factors affecting the production flow in the country is paying attention to economic infrastructure such as water and electricity. In fact, it is not possible to support the issue of production without sustainable water and electricity supply in the country. In our country, the Ministry of Energy is responsible for providing sustainable water and electricity for the domestic, industrial and agricultural fields, services and other fields. In this regard, in order to follow the activities of this ministry in the year of production; Knowledge-based, job-creating, as well as knowledge of the Ministry of Energy’s plan for 1401 Ali Akbar Mehrabian, Minister of Energy We went to discuss these issues in the form of a dialogue.

In this conversation, issues such as the role of water and electricity in the country’s economy and especially in the issue of production, the country’s water and electricity conditions in 1400, the reasons for the successful passage of last winter’s peak load, the Ministry of Energy plans to supply electricity in the coming summer. The issue of power plant repairs, the establishment of an effective groundwater management system, the role of knowledge-based in the water and electricity industry, as well as the impact of the Ministry of Energy on employment statistics have been discussed.

The details of this conversation are as follows:

* The development of water and electricity insures a country’s economy

Fars: While congratulating the New Year, at the beginning of the interview we want to ask the Minister of Energy, what role does water and electricity play in the country’s economy and in more detail in production?

Altarpieces: I also greet you and at the beginning of the conversation, I congratulate you and all the loved ones who are celebrating this blessed Eid. Returning to your question, the improvement of production indicators requires special attention to the development of economic infrastructure in the country. Given this obvious issue, water and electricity as a strategic infrastructure can insure the issue of production in the country. Accordingly, the Ministry of Energy, as the custodian of the sustainable supply of these two strategic elements for the country’s economy, feels a heavy responsibility and continues to work day and night to fulfill this task.

You will notice that many existing industries, from small and large sectors such as large production units of steel, copper and aluminum to a small business, all need water and electricity to operate, and if these two critical infrastructures are available, the ground for production growth. Will be provided in the country. In recent years, the issue of non-supply of water and electricity has made the production sectors bitter, and this issue shows the role and position of providing these two vital infrastructures in the country’s economy. On this basis, we must solve problems in this field in a jihadist manner.

Fars: Let us take a loan from your words here. Last year, we reached the summer when the production and consumption of electricity in the country was more than 11,000 MW, in other words, the need to consume 11,000 MW of total electricity production in Iran. It was over, in such a situation, what was your plan in order to face this issue?

MehrabiansOver the years, for various reasons, such as the incomplete implementation of demand management policies and, on the other hand, the slow development of the power industry, we have witnessed a huge imbalance in electricity production and consumption, which has upset many people. These days, due to the dependence of people’s lives and livelihoods on the issue of electricity, blackouts are not accepted for a few minutes, let alone that in the summer of previous years, we experienced hours of power outages at peak loads.

In such circumstances, our program focuses on the priority of upgrading electricity generation indicators in accordance with the objectives of the upstream documents, along with the strict implementation of demand management policies. Development of 35,000 MW power plants in the form of construction of combined cycle power plants, completion of gas power plant steam unit and upgrading the power of low efficiency power plants by nearly 20%, along with the construction of renewable power plants are part of our plans in the power plant sector.Making Is.

* The capacity of the country’s renewable units will increase 10 times in four years

Fars: Has a significant number of renewable power plants been installed in your program?

Altarpieces: The construction of 10,000 MW of renewable power plants with the priority of solar power plants is on our agenda. Note that the current renewable capacity of the country is estimated at around 1000 MW, which will increase 10 times in the next 4 years.

Fars: During the activity of the 13th government, the peak winter load of 1400 passed without any problems for the people and power outages, while last year we faced the phenomenon of fuel shortage of power plants due to government incoherence, your actions to cross the winter electricity supply What was the year 1400?

Mehrabian: As you mentioned, in the winter of last year, due to a significant increase in domestic gas consumption, fuel did not reach the power plants and liquid fuel supply was also faced with problems. Based on this, in the people’s government this year, a very positive interaction was formed between the relevant ministers, including the Minister of Oil and the Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade, along with the Ministry of Energy to establish conditions for liquid fuel supply and communication with the country’s industrial sector Be.

In addition to the constructive engagement of government ministries, electricity industry initiatives, including the possibility of exchanging south to north, were part of the industry’s efforts to help pass through the winter of 1400, unlike in previous years.

Let us not forget that the people have the biggest role in the energy field of the country, and without the support and empathy of our compatriots, no effort could have been fruitful, and I would like to thank each and every one of this people for their excellent support of the people’s government.

* Every cubic centimeter of water is like gold to us

Fars: One of the issues that became a crisis last year was the unregulated release of the country’s dams to supply electricity in winter and spring. How was this issue managed this year?

Altarpieces: In the field of water, due to climate change, we have faced less rainfall than in the past, but this is a natural phenomenon that with the establishment of a precise governance structure should be managed and available water resources in the best way and in a transparent structure to consumers. Accordingly, in order to improve and strengthen the structure of water resources management, the output of the country’s dams is carefully monitored and not even one cubic meter of water can be released without expert infrastructure.

In this situation, where every cubic centimeter of this water is like gold for us, it is not right to release this water in order to supply us with electricity. In this regard, water release to cover the electricity imbalance reached its lowest level this year and no water has been released in dams with power plants just to supply electricity. In such a decision-making system, we reduced the production of hydropower plants by 60% so that we could make the best use of the water available at the dams.

* Details of the Ministry of Energy program to reduce summer problems

Fars: One of the biggest challenges facing the Ministry of Energy next year is the issue of sustainable electricity supply in the summer of 1401. Can you tell us about the plans of the Ministry of Energy in this regard, which began from the beginning of the people’s government?

Altarpieces: Ministry of Energy for the problems in the summer of 1401, a detailed plan including 100 actions in the form of axes such as the establishment of new power plants, increasing the efficiency of existing power plants using Sausage optimization, development of renewable power plants, completing power plant repairs and using all power industry tools. It has put demand management policies on its agenda.

If we want to go into the program of the Ministry of Energy in more detail. This program includes increasing the production capacity by 6,000 MW, of which 4,900 MW is related to thermal and renewable units. Accordingly, 4260 MW of the mentioned 4900 MW includes the thermal unit by the Ministry of Energy and one unit by the Industries Department, which will be the first power plant to be built in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Energy and Industry.

Also, a 50% increase in the installed capacity of the country’s renewable electricity generation is another part of the 100 measures considered to cross the peak load of 1401, which will be followed by the construction of a 500 MW renewable power plant. from Other The existing 286 power plants will be upgraded to about 1113 MW with the actions of local experts.

Fars: In the field of power plant repairs, unfortunately, in recent years, we have seen power plants out of circuit due to technical problems. Will this bitter incident be repeated next year?

Altarpieces: What we have on our agenda is to complete the power plant repairs, including heating units and hydroelectric units, so that we can use all the tools of the electricity industry in the face of the peak summer season. In this regard, the issue of power plant repairs is followed up at the highest level 24 hours a day to achieve this important goal for the first time in recent years. On this basis, in order to make this activity more sensitive during Nowruz, the power plant repair program has not been stopped, and those involved in the electricity industry, along with all regional managers and 24-hour staff, are trying to make people face less problems in the summer.

Again, it is important to emphasize that the support and assistance of the people in 1401 can reduce the problems of the summer of 1401, similar to what happened in the winter.

* The success of the electricity industry is a manifestation of supporting knowledge-based production

Fars: This year is called the year of “production; “Knowledge-based, employment-creating” has been named. Given that this approach should be at the forefront of all activities in 1401, especially in the economic sector, how is the role of the Ministry of Energy in moving defined by the slogan of the year defined?

Altarpieces: The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution always mentions in his speeches the issue of knowledge-based economy and the issue of production; Scholars also considered employment-creating as the top of activities in 1401. In the Ministry of Energy, attention has always been paid to the issue of knowledge-based people, and this issue has caused us to have a say in many areas with the help of local manpower. In other words, the success of the electricity industry, including self-sufficiency in the construction of advanced types of power plants with the highest efficiency, is the result of supporting a knowledge-based economy.

At present, in the power plant sector, the country’s active knowledge-based companies play the leading role in the world, and we, without any dependence on technological production capacity.Most We have products. Naturally, the spread of a view based on the development of knowledge-based products can overcome other bottlenecks in the country’s water and electricity sector, and we will act with more special attention to this issue in 1401.

We also announce to all the activities of the scholars in the country, the Ministry of Energy is ready to make the most of the capacity of this sector in order to solve the problems in the field of water and electricity and to pave the way for the presence of the scholars. In this situation, God willing, a science and technology park will be set up in the Ministry of Energy this year in order to pave the way for the presence of knowledge-based companies, and more attention will be paid to the Water Research Institute and the Energy Research Institute as two arms of the water and electricity industry.

Another important point in the issue of job creation that the Ministry of Energy can be effective in two aspects, the first issue is the supply of sustainable water and electricity as important pillars of production in the country that the Ministry of Energy can insure the country’s economy Provide.

On the other hand, achieving the goals of the upstream documents in the development of water and electricity infrastructure, including compensating for past shortcomings and moving forward, requires increasing the activity of the water and electricity industry, followed by creating extensive employment in the country. Based on this, the Ministry of Energy in 1401 makes an effort to play an effective role in both sectors. It is appropriate to point out that the year 1401 is a very busy year for the country’s water and electricity industry, and we have even used this opportunity for Nowruz to prepare the country’s development path without the slightest stop.

فارس: Thanks Ever since you provided it to Fars News Agency.
