Final UN annex records Abadan’s temporary replacement transformer after wartime destruction

Fourteen regional companies controlled the major interconnected electrical system and planned local developments. The national energy department set overall targets and approved and monitored major...

Table F.1 listed total generating capacity of 9,628 MW in 1980 and 17,952 MW in 1990. The 1990 total included 3,149 MW under private companies; these are capacity figures, not electricity generated or...

Table F.2 listed 1,883 kilometres of 400-kilovolt transmission lines in 1980 and 5,714 in 1988. National network expansion occurred alongside repeated wartime damage and incomplete restoration in...

The annex reported electricity supplied to 7,800 villages in 1980 and about 24,000 in 1990, reaching over 65 percent of the rural population. These national access figures did not establish reliable...

Maximum electricity demand in the Abadan–Khorramshahr region reportedly fell from 240 MW in 1979 to 100 MW in 1991, dropping even lower during out-migration. The annex linked demand loss to...

Table F.3 listed 2,680 kilometres of damaged medium-voltage lines in Khuzestan, of which 800 had been reconstructed and 1,880 remained outstanding. The figures describe this line category rather...

Khuzestan’s distribution table listed 1,855 kilometres of damaged low-voltage lines, 600 reconstructed and 1,255 outstanding. Low-voltage distribution remained a separate rebuilding task from...

Table F.3 listed 151 kilometres of damaged underground cables in Khuzestan, zero reconstructed and all 151 outstanding. This specific cable inventory did not mean that no electricity reconstruction...
