We do not have electricity shortages; Consumables are the cause of blackouts

According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, last summer we witnessed an imbalance of 11,000 MW in electricity production and consumption, in other words, the country’s electricity consumption in August reached 11,000 MW more than the power generation capacity of power plants. Prepared the home section.

At first glance, the culprit of the summer power outage may be the lack of production, but it can be viewed from another angle. Imagine, the amount of electricity generation capacity of the country was much higher than the current 86 thousand MW. In such a situation, can it be guaranteed that electricity consumption will not exceed production again and the country will not face imbalances again?

In other words, if the consumption conditions, especially in the household sector and by the high-consumption consumers, continue to follow the current practice, the development of the electricity industry to any extent can still not be considered a guarantee to prevent power outages.

* Power consumption beyond the pattern caused a power outage in the summer

A look at the statistics of the electricity industry in 1400 confirms that the phrase “electricity generation is low” is not a precise phrase to justify the power outage last summer, and the culprit of the massive blackouts should be sought elsewhere.

According to documentary statistics presented in the summer of 1400, the amount of energy that the electricity industry could not provide for the needs of industry and the home sector was equivalent to 7 billion kilowatt hours. Interestingly, in the same period, consumption beyond the pattern of high-consumption home subscribers is estimated at exactly 7 billion kWh.

The interpretation of this statistic is that if last year all household electricity subscribers followed the consumption pattern, no blackouts would be imposed on other subscribers, including industrial and household subscribers.

Energy statistics are not the only clue that leads us to the culprit of the summer power outage. If we look at the country’s electricity generation and consumption capacity at the peak of 1400, we will see that in the peak consumption of 12,000 MW of the country’s electricity generation capacity has been spent to meet the needs beyond the pattern of high-consumption home subscribers.

This statistic, along with the inability of 11,000 MW of electricity production and consumption, indicates that if there was no high-consumption subscriber in the country, there would be no inability to generate electricity in the country.

* Construction of a power plant will not solve the problem if the conditions of high-consumption behavior continue

According to Fars, The statistics do not in any way indicate that the previous government abandoned the development of power plants On the contrary, it clarifies the issue that even if the construction of the power plant was done according to the upstream documents in order to meet the industrial needs and growth of production in the country, the extravagance of high consumption would create problems for the country with less intensity and weakness.

Accordingly, the search for the first-degree blackout in the summer of last year shows that behavior outside the pattern of high consumption and waste of electricity is literally the main cause of power outages, and as long as high-consumption consumers do not reconsider their behavior. There is no guarantee of preventing power outages.

* Increasing the price of high-consumption electricity is a solution to meet the challenge of electricity supply

According to many energy experts, increasing the country’s electricity capacity should pave the way for development and production in the country, but at present, high-consumption ones are the biggest barrier to production.

Accordingly, changing the electricity tariff system along with high-consumption home subscribers can pave the way for low consumption of all people and thus say goodbye to the problem of blackouts.

In this regard, Saber Azad Shahraki, an energy expert, expressing the successful experience of effective step-by-step electricity tariffs in other parts of the world, believes:Methods to meet the electricity supply challenge have been implemented in many countries around the world, and as a result of these practices, electricity consumption during peak days has been significantly reduced. To meet this challenge in California in 2001, for example, the price of electricity for low-consumption subscribers remained stable, but high-consumption subscribers saw a 50 percent increase in electricity prices.»

“As a result of this smart policy, power consumption in the state has been reduced by about 12 percent,” the energy expert continued.

According to the details, it seems that preventing the waste of electricity by high-consumption consumers, along with the efforts of the electricity industry to develop the capacity of the power plant, can reduce the problems of the electricity industry in the coming summer.
