Although the following link does not give any clue to if the Iranian parliament's 37 members effort to put back DST in Iran will be adopted, it still gives an interesting twist to the issue: http://www.roozonline.com/english/archives/2007/03/002811.php Here is an excerpt, with thanks to roozonline: Shirani predicted that the government’s new policy of abandoning daylight saving time would result in a loss of 3,000 billion riyals (335 million dollars), and a 300 megawatt increase in the consumption of electricity during peak hours. Shirani noted, “All findings had been published in studies and reports. It seems that the government has decided to abandon the policy without regard for the opinion of experts at the Ministry of Energy.” Regards, Jesper Nørgaard Welen Email: jnorgard@Prodigy.Net.mx Project Leader (Líder de Proyecto) Software CIMMYT - Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo Dirección: CIMMYT Int. c/o Jesper Nørgaard Km. 45, Carretera México-Veracruz El Batán Texcoco, Edo. de México CP 56130 MEXICO Tel.: +52 (55) 58-04-20-04 ext. 1374 Fax: +52 (55) 58-04-75-58 Tel.
