A comprehensive roadmap has been prepared for the serious provision of electricity to industrial plants. So that the needs of industrial facilities and factories are met in order to provide more GDP in the country,” he said.

Aliabadi noted that investment is needed to provide electricity. In order to attract investment, reforms should be carried out in the economic aspect of the industrial sector, and the price of this valuable product should be changed.
