TEHRAN, Iran, June.29

Trend:

Karun-4 Hydroelectric Power Plant has gone out of power production circuit due to drop of water level behind Karun Dam and decline of rainfall.

The water balance behind Karun 4 Dam has declined to 998 meters on June 28 while the water balance in this power plant in the last Iranian year (started March 20, 2020) was 1,024 meters, said a reliable source in the power industry, Trend reports citing Fars News Agency.

Water height behind Karun 4 Dam has faced a 26-meter decline in the current Iranian year (started March 21, 2021) that caused the halt of power generation in Karun-4 Hydroelectric Power Plant.

Karun-4 Hydroelectric Power Plant Dam's production capacity is 1,000 megawatt and shutting down production could cause problems in the power supply in the current Iranian year (started March 21, 2021).
