Plans to Expand Power Grid, Electricity Generation Launched

Plans are underway to increase power production capacity and expand electricity network to help with the sustainable power supply to all sectors across Iran, the head of Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said.
“Last year, a plan was started to add 35,000 megawatts to the electricity generation capacity over four years to address the country's imbalance between demand and consumption,” Arash Kordi was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven.
In the first year of the program, about 6,000 MW were added to the capacity that currently stands at 89,000 MW.
