South Khorasan Building 1st Coal-Fired Power Plant

The construction of Tabas coal-fired power plant in South Khorasan Province is underway, the head of the Thermal Power Plant Holding Company said.
“We have ordered the boiler of the plant from a foreign country to use higher technology, which will help reduce pollution when it becomes operational,” ISNA also quoted Abdolrasoul Pishahang as saying.
Being the first coal-fired power plant in Iran, it will have a production capacity of 650 megawatts and feed on the nearby Mazino Coalmine that holds more than 600 million tons of in-place coal.
