Khorasan Coal-Fired Power Station to Help Diversify Electricity Sources

To diversify its sources of electricity, the Energy Ministry is making concerted efforts to complete the construction of the first coal-fired power plant near the city of Tabas in South Khorasan Province.
Mohsen Tarztalab, the head of Iran's Thermal Power Plants Holding Company that is a subsidiary of the Energy Ministry, made the statement while vising the site of the project on Friday, the Energy Ministry’s news service reported.
“The power station will produce 650 megawatts and feed on the nearby Mazino coalmine, which holds more than 600 million tons of in-place coal,” he said.
