The existence
of soil and water resources in Khuzestan and the necessity of
exploiting them demanded a comprehensive study in this regard
. For this reason , the company of development and resources
acting as the advisor of the budget and planning organization
, started its survey and reconnaissance of the region's soiled
and water potentialities in 1335 .
The Khuzestan development company in 1337 commenced the
purchase of the old power installations and networks from
private companies at the same time that it studied and
designed its own power generating installations , and signed
an agreement with the oil company for the construction of a
132 k.v. line of Abadan - Ahwaz , and a 33 k.v. line the rmo
electrical power center of the refinery as far as the main
power station of Abadan . So that within a year in the month
of May of 1959 through the commencement of that station and
the related network , the center of Khuzestan province was
supplied with electricity . In the same year , the Dez
irrigation project began its trial period on a 20 thousand
hectars site .
On the 9th of May of 1960 , in accordance with the bill passed
in the parliament of that time .
KWPA was established and officially assumed the responsibility
of carrying out the development plans of Khuzestan .This
organization efficiently carried out the developmental
projects by recruiting Iranian experts and workers . So that ,
in 1961 for the first time after 500 years the cultivation of
sugar cane was revived , and the first sugar cane crop in Haft
Tapeh zone was harvested and sugar was produced .
In 1962 , the Dez irrigation network project started , and in
early 1963 the Dez resarvoire dam dam with a 65 M.W. unit was
exploited . In the same year , the controled water of the Dez
dam was let into a part of the land belonging to the
experimental trial network . Through The exploitation of the Dez
hydroelectrical power plant the organization set out to plan
the development of power transmission and distribution lines as well as the supply of better services to its
clients . Thus until 1971 , all the available lines in
Khuzestan were connected to the power installations of KWPA .
At presents , KWPA has the responsibility of survey and the
execution of huge projects of dam construction , construction
of water supply and irrigation networks , power sub-stations ,
