Some factors including the climatic conditions , special nature , power consumers , non-synchronal peakings between Khuzestan network and national grid and some other factors , make the condition of power consumption in Khuzestan different from the other provinces in the country . According to the current statistics, the average consumption of clients in Khuzestan is over 2.5 times the consumption of whole country . This ratio was left unchanged in 1379 and 80(2000-2001) . Table(41)  offers a quite complete recognition of the power consumption behavior in Khuzestan . In this table , the quantity statistics of power consumption during the years of the second development plan and the operation of the years 1379 and 80(2000-2001) is illustrated . As it can be seen , the consumption of electrical energy with annual growth of 7.34% , has increased from 9906675() in 1374(1995) to 13152144() in 1378(1999) . This increase is primarily because of the increasing rate of population growth , the changes and reconstruction after the imposed war , and increase in household electrical equipments.This is clearly observed

in studying the process of power consumption per capita index . As it is concluded from this table , the power consumption per capita with growth rate of 14.5 during the second development plan has increased from 15689KWh a year for each client at the beginning of the plan to 17966KWh a year . That is the growth rate of electricity consumption has been more than the growth rate of population during the second development plan and it is expected that this process will continue more severely in the years of third and forth plans( Refer to Table 5-17 , the section of comparative statistics for the assessment of the maximum needed energy in Khuzestan up to 1388(2009)) .

In 1380(2001) the total needed energy for consumption in Khuzestan power network was 15126127() and this ratio , compared to analogue figure in previous year (1379(2000)) had a 7.59% increase and 39732() of this amount is because of the development of the methods resulted from various factors and undistributed energy share .
