100 Domestic Firms Help Indigenize Power Plant Parts

With the help of 100 knowledge-based Iranian companies In the last two years, about 150,000 parts of thermal power plants have been manufactured in the country, the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company’s deputy for renovation affairs said.
“More than $20 million worth of contracts have been concluded with domestic knowledge-based companies for the indigenization of power plant parts and equipment,” Aliasghar Abdoli was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven.
As 82% of the country's power production capacity come from thermal power stations, using the potential of knowledge-based firms in the past few years to produce the required parts has reduced their costs compared to the past when the needed equipment were to be imported, he added.
