According to Subsidies targeting rule, the sale of electricity should raise the prices to the level of the actual production costs within the fifth development program. This paper uses a computable general equilibrium for measuring the impacts of policy interference on electricity consumption in the industrial sectors of Iran in two scenarios. According to the first scenario, raising electricity price by no change in other energy price, we expect to decrease electricity demand in textile, glass and machinery industries more than other industries. On the second scenario, demand for electricity by the textile, glass industries decrease more than other activities. Key Words: Industrial Electricity Demand, General Equilibrium, Micro Consistency Matrix. JEL: Q43, C68, D50, D58
