26th Intl. Electricity Industry Exhibition Kicks Off in Tehran

The 26nd Iran International Electricity Exhibition was inaugurated at Tehran Permanent International Fairgrounds on Saturday with the participation of the Minister of Energy Abbas Aliabadi along with the Ministry’s deputies, senior officials, and key stakeholders from the electricity industry. In this edition, 420 domestic and foreign companies are participating—comprising 350 domestic and 70 international firms—to showcase their latest achievements, cutting-edge technologies, products, and specialized capabilities across various segments of the electricity industry supply chain. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the exhibition, Minister of Energy Aliabadi referred to the damage inflicted upon some of the country’s facilities and infrastructure during the imposed war on Iran by the U.S.-Israeli aggression. He said that, in recent years, the Ministry of Energy has undertaken two fundamental initiatives within the electricity sector: first, reducing electricity consumption, and second, addressing a portion of the deficits and damages resulting from the war.

Recognized as the country’s premier specialized event for the electricity sector, this exhibition serves as an ideal platform for manufacturers, experts, knowledge-based companies, and international stakeholders to convene. Through the exchange of technical knowledge, technology transfer, and the presentation of existing capacities, the event fosters greater collaboration and synergy within the industry. With an electricity output of 300 kilowatt-hours last year, Iran ranks second in the Middle East—trailing only Saudi Arabia—while its electricity consumption levels are comparable to those of Turkey, Spain, and Australia. A comparison of per capita electricity production and consumption in Iran reveals that management within this industrial sector requires improvement. In this context, the hosting of electricity-related exhibitions in Iran presents a valuable opportunity to address the challenges and obstacles hindering energy production and consumption in the country. Iran Elec Show 2026 brings together manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, contractors, consultants, investors and decision makers from the power industry, electrical and renewable energy sectors. The exhibition creates a focused environment for market entry, product presentation, business networking and long-term cooperation across Iran and neighboring markets. - Kayhan
