Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Mohammad Elahdad, CEO of Tavanir, reported that Iran’s national power industry is working to reconstruct infrastructure following wartime incidents that damaged power plants with a combined capacity exceeding 4,000 megawatts. Elahdad noted that smart management strategies successfully reduced electricity demand by approximately 3 percent for the second consecutive year. To support industrial activity while power plants and network lines undergo scheduled maintenance, Tavanir has lifted industrial electricity consumption limits during off-peak hours. Between 10:00 PM and 10:00 AM, industrial units may consume electricity beyond their contracted demand without penalties. Looking toward long-term policy, Elahdad stated that under the Electricity Industry Development Obstacle Removal Law, industries must secure their own electricity or purchase it through energy exchange boards starting in 2026. Currently, only about 30 percent of this requirement has been met. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-03: Tavanir lifts industrial electricity consumption limits during off-peak hours Tavanir has lifted electricity consumption penalties for Iranian industries between 10 PM and 10 AM to utilize off-peak capacity and support production during scheduled power plant maintenance. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tavanir-lifts-industrial-electricity-consumption-limits-during-off-peak-hours ### 2026-09-20: Tavanir CEO reports on Iran's power grid reconstruction and energy management Tavanir CEO Mohammad Elahdad reported on the reconstruction of Iran's power grid following infrastructure damage and noted a 3 percent reduction in electricity demand through smart management. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tavanir-ceo-reports-on-irans-power-grid-reconstruction-and-energy-management --- Cite as: Iran power grid reconstruction and energy management.
