Public investment in electricity generation stopped in the late 2000s, and private-sector investments have also declined.<\/p>\n<p>The official explained that the policy of price stabilization since the mid-2000s exacerbated the decline in energy infrastructure investment.<\/p>\n<p>Kolahi highlighted that from 1999 to the late 2010s, only 15-20 percent of required investments in the power transmission and distribution network were made. Over the past three years, investment in this area has nearly stalled.<\/p>\n<p>He warned that outdated power transmission and distribution networks have seen minimal investment in recent years, with efforts almost halting over the past three years.<\/p>\n<p>Kolahi also raised concerns about decentralized power generation, cautioning that non-standard fuel use could harm modern engines and worsen environmental pollution.<\/p>\n<p>EF\/MA<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tehrantimes.com\/news\/507839\/Energy-imbalance-challenges-highlighted-at-TCCIMA-meeting\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEHRAN &#8211; Alireza Kolahi Samadi, head of the Industry Committee at the Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture (TCCIMA), stated that $35 billion is required to address power shortages and modernize the country\u2019s electricity grid.
