TEHRAN - The CEO of Abadan Oil Refining Company announced that the facility has met its internal electricity needs while supplying surplus power to the city grid to support residents during the hot season.
He stated that the refinery plays a key role in easing the grid’s load in summer by allocating 50 megawatts daily to the urban network.
According to the Abadan Oil Refining Company, Fardin Rashedi highlighted providing electricity to Abadan during peak summer months as a top priority.
He said the company, as part of its social responsibility, has prioritized power supply to the city, injecting an additional 20 megawatts daily into the distribution network to prevent summer blackouts.
Rashedi pointed to this year’s unprecedented heat and stressed the need for increased industrial support for the power grid. He added that by dedicating one of its generators to the national grid, the refinery produces approximately 14,800 megawatts monthly for public use.
The CEO also noted that the refinery does not use its 30-megawatt electricity quota from the national grid during the hot season. Instead, it supplies an extra 20 megawatts, contributing a total of 50 megawatts daily to the urban network, significantly reducing summer grid strain.
Rashedi emphasized that fulfilling social responsibilities to support citizens in the hot season remains a core commitment for Abadan Oil Refining Company, and this approach will continue.
