The speaker continued: These 140 programs in the area of generation lead to an increase in the generation capacity of new plants by 6,000 megawatts, as well as an increase in the capacity of existing plants and the repair of damaged plants of a total of 1,700 megawatts, and on this basis, 7,700 megawatts The electricity production capacity of existing power plants will be increased so that we can spend the summer more reliably in terms of production capacity.
The start of the implementation of 63 major projects in the field of electricity transmission networks
The power industry spokesperson continued on the forecasted applications in the transmission grid sector: In the transmission grid sector, due to the restrictions that existed in the supply of electricity in 1401 , 47 programs of which 63 projects have been planned, which include transmission lines as well as the construction of transmission and super distribution substations, it is in progress.

He said: Semnan Power Station will soon put its fourth unit into production, Mobarake Steel has two Class F power stations with a total capacity of 614 megawatts, as well as the first units of Golghar Power Stations, Lamard and Al-Mahdi for Golghar steel, Salco aluminum and Al-Mahdi aluminum companies is built.
According to Rajabi Mashhadi, with the capacities allocated by the power plant units of the mentioned industries, in the summer of 1402, the implementation of the "consumption management" programs of the industry sector will decrease compared to the year former.
