Overhaul of Power Stations Underway

The plan to overhaul thermal power plants and boost electricity production, which started in August, is on track and will be complete by May 2022, a spokesman for the Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said.
“Domestic firms, including Iran Power Plant Repair Company, are carrying out the annual maintenance work at 129 power stations that annually produce about 69,000 megawatts,” Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
“Good progress has been made in the power sector and international companies' unwillingness to cooperate with Iran Thermal Power Plants Holding Company will not impede operations for the upkeep of power stations,” he added.
Rajabi noted that repair and maintenance of thermal power plants, estimated to cost at least $700 million, can add up to 2 gigawatts to the total output.
