The report on the 25-year performance of the Islamic Republic of Iran issued by the Management and Planning Organization said that during this period, the power grid network covering the whole country was established as all the local networks have been connected to the entire network.
The report added that during the years after the Islamic Revolution, the cities were provided by the electricity, and that the number of the electricity-equipped villages increased to 46000 from 3600.
According to this report, some changes have occurred in the electricity sector, as the Iranian experts have constructed dams, power plants, and high voltage posts by using the methods different from those taken by the foreign experts at the time before the Islamic Revolution.
Based on this report, implementing the decentralization policies in the electricity industry through the relative dependency of the local electricity companies would bring about production and purchasing management, as well as better outputs.
Iran has already exported electricity to Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. The report added that improper use of renewable energies due to the entire dependency on oil sector is among the weak points of the energy sector.
