چکیده :
Iran's electricity crisis, rooted in decades of inefficient policymaking and underinvestment in power generation infrastructure, has turned into a devastating shock for the industrial sector following the recent war. Hormozgan Province, as the country's industrial hub and host to strategic industries such as steel, aluminum, refineries, and petrochemicals, lies at the epicenter of this crisis due to its high concentration of electricity consumption and the vulnerability of the transmission network. Under these conditions, the traditional strategy of rebuilding centralized infrastructure is neither feasible nor desirable; a transition toward distributed renewable generation systems and supply chain reconfiguration has thus become a strategic necessity. This study aims to design an integrated conceptual model to enhance the resilience of the industrial supply chain in Hormozgan Province by combining green procurement strategies and distributed renewable generation in the context of the post-war electricity crisis. Adopting a qualitative, concept-driven approach, the study develops a four-layer model consisting of Resilient Energy Supply, Green Procurement and Supply Diversification, Smart Digital Management, and Governance and Institution Building. The first layer reduces dependence on the national grid by deploying solar-battery microgrids with islanding capability. The second layer manages the risk of disruption in raw material flows through supplier base diversification, strategic reserves, and closed-loop supply reinforcement. The third layer enables real-time monitoring and proactive response using the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. The fourth layer provides the institutional and financial foundation for implementation through the design of a steering council, a joint investment fund, and a guaranteed purchase framework. Model validation is conducted through scenario analysis of four grid disruption scenarios and a comparative study of successful global experiences (Puerto Rico, Ukraine, and India). The results indicate that implementing the proposed model improves the province's supply chain resilience by 55 to 65 percent, depending on the scenario. The greatest improvement is observed in the system robustness component, such that even in the scenario of a complete national grid blackout, it becomes possible to maintain minimal production in critical industries and prevent irreparable damage. Furthermore, supplier diversification and reduced dependence on high-risk logistics pathways significantly accelerate post-disruption recovery speed. The findings offer clear policy implications for Hormozgan Province and the country as a whole: a paradigm shift from rationing to empowering industries for energy self-supply, establishing a single window to facilitate investment, prioritizing resource allocation to critical industries based on a criticality-vulnerability analysis, and investing in digital infrastructure for smart energy management. This model can also serve as a blueprint for resilient industrial reconstruction in other provinces and conflict-affected countries.
