Fars News reported a government spokesman and Energy Minister Abbas Aliabadi
said “we got through this summer together,” but documents obtained by the outlet
show widespread residential power outages continued on the same day. Aliabadi
has pledged four times in the past month to end outages, yet residential supply
remains interrupted and industrial firms report outages are intensifying.
Yesterday’s outage extent was about 2.5 times the past month’s daily average.
