According to Mehr reporter, Hamidreza Janbaz, after visiting the national project of Heraz Dam, emphasized the necessity of securing the necessary financial resources to complete this project, and stated: Currently, about 600 billion tomans of credit for the implementation of parts related to the body of the dam and the road have been provided in the annex of the budget law, but this amount does not meet all the financial needs of the project.

He added: In addition to the credits approved by the budget law, the Ministry of Energy is also on the agenda to follow up on the provision of resources from the place of production of assets so that the process of project implementation can be accelerated by allocating more credits.

Referring to the measures taken to use the capacity of Article 56, the Deputy Minister of Energy and Water Affairs stated: Part of the financial resources needed for the Haraz Dam is being pursued from this location, and we hope that this process will be completed in the shortest possible time.

Stating that the completion of Haraz dam requires the use of a set of financial capacities, Janbaz said: the credit foreseen in the budget law is considered the primary basis for financing this project, and we are trying to increase the required resources by using other legal capacities.

He also pointed to the role of provincial follow-ups in advancing this project and added: the actions of Mazandaran governor and provincial officials in the field of attracting credits can be the basis for increasing financial resources and speeding up the project implementation process.

The Deputy Minister of Energy and Water Affairs also said about the latest status of Haraz Dam's physical progress: Based on the evaluations, this project has achieved about 55% physical progress so far, and providing sufficient financial resources will be an important factor in continuing the executive operations and completing its various parts.

Janbaz also stated about the road upstream of Haraz dam: if the necessary funds are secured, the implementation of this section can be done in less than a year, but the schedule presented by the project managers has predicted a period of about two years for its completion.

In the end, he emphasized: the speed of Haraz dam project implementation is directly related to the provision of financial resources, and the Ministry of Energy is trying to speed up the process of completing this national plan by using legal capacities and complementary resources.
