Domestic Firms to Produce Power Generation Machinery, Equipment

Ten domestic companies have signed at least four contracts on the sidelines of the 22nd Iran International Electricity Exhibition that opened on Nov. 20 at Tehran’s International Fairground in the presence of Energy Minister Ali Akbar Mehrabian.
“Iran's Thermal Power Plants Holding Company, the engineering and energy giant, MAPNA Group, the Turbine Engineering and Manufacturing Company (TUGA), Shahid Rajaee Power Generation Company in Qazvin Province, Shazand Power Generation Company in Markazi Province, Ahar Power Station Services and Shahriar Turbine Components Company were among the firms that concluded the agreements,” Mehrabian was quoted as saying by IRNA.
Giving a breakdown, the minister noted that the first deal was signed between TPPHC and MAPNA, based on which the latter was assigned to carry out all operations and supply all equipment needed to convert gas-powered Shahid Salimi (Neka) Power station in Mazandaran Province to a combined-cycle facility. Neka power plant burns mazut all year round and its conversion to a combined-cycle unit can help reduce air pollution in the region.
