MAVIR has sufficient electricity reserves – 1,350 MW, as required by regulations – even considering higher demand for air conditioners, Tari said. He added that consumption this summer had not reached the all-time peak of 6,320 MW reached last year.

MAVIR published just a few days earlier a tender to provide reserves – as well as electricity necessary for regulation and to cover network losses – in 2009, Tari said. (MTI – Econews)
