Proposed Energy Minister Outlines Plan to Boost Electricity Production, Transition to Renewable Sources

In a meeting with the Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, proposed Energy Minister Abbas Ali-Abadi outlined his plan to increase electricity production and counter an imbalance of 18,000 megawatts of electricity through efficient use and production.

Iran (IMNA) - Ali-Abadi emphasized the need to repair old power plants, complete half-finished plants, and prioritize renewable energy sources. ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌Iran's excessive energy consumption is a major concern, with the country using as much electricity as Egypt and Spain combined despite having a smaller population. The proposed minister emphasized the importance of transitioning to renewable energy sources to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and mitigate global warming.

Experts agree that Iran is well-suited for solar energy production due to its vast geography and geographical location. However, citizens must be trained to use electricity efficiently through measures such as imposing fines on non-compliant consumers, stopping subsidies, and promoting environmental awareness.

The government should also encourage organizations and companies to install solar panels on their buildings or open spaces to generate their own electricity. For example, Bimeh Asia Co. could install solar panels on its rooftop to reduce its reliance on diesel-powered generators.

Renewable energy is crucial for the planet's future, and Iran must invest in it to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The country's new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, has emphasized the importance of managers' performance over their political affiliations, and Ali-Abadi's plan will be closely monitored by critics.
