Private Sector Expanding Power Capacity of Qeshm

The gas unit of Qeshm Pasargad Combined-Cycle Power Plant on Qeshm Island, Hormozgan Province, has come on stream to help stabilize power supply in the Persian Gulf’s largest island.
“An undertaking of the private sector, the project was completed in two years,” Hassan Maddahi, managing director of Qeshm Movalled Company, was quoted as saying by IRNA.
Costing around $150 million, the gas unit with a capacity of generating 320 megawatts was built with the help of domestic contractors, including Monenco Iran Consulting Engineers, a leading global provider of professional engineering and consulting services and Hirbodan, an Iranian Engineering and Construction Company.
