The officials in the power sector have advised users to reduce consumptions as the household sector consumption increased in previous weeks. Iran's Power Generation and Distribution Company (TAVANIR) had reduced the lights of street lamps and passages to reduce consumption.
"The power consumption of one street lamp is equal to one household electricity consumption and reducing the lighting would have an important effect on power consumption management," said the CEO of TAVANIR recently.
"The cost of these unessential lighting is equal to the cost of 1,000 liters fuel for power plants while these lightings creates 3 tons of pollution," said Mohammad Hassan Motevali Zadeh.
