Iran announces scheduled electricity cuts amid fuel shortage at power plants
It said the reason for power cuts was the restrictions imposed on the supply of fuel feedstock in power plants because of the current cold wave.
The statement said another reason for the cuts was a recent decision by the government to ban the use of mazut in power plants to prevent pollution in major industrial cities.
It is the first time in decades that Iran has imposed power cuts in cold months as the country faces an increasing demand for energy in its household, business, and manufacturing sectors.
