Plans to Build Seven Power Stations in Remote Regions

The Thermal Power Plants Holding Company plans to build seven medium-scale power stations in five provinces to help sustain the supply of electricity in the remote regions of Iran, director of power plant projects at TPPHC said.
“Last year, the company signed a contract with MAPNA Group for the construction of medium-sized power plants within 24 months in the remote areas of Sistan-Baluchestan, Hormozgan, Yazd, Khuzestan and Lorestan provinces,” Farshid Haddadi was also quoted as saying by Bargh News.
“Turbines with a capacity of 25-90 megawatts are considered medium-scale power plants,” he added, noting that these units will help replace old power plants in the country with low capacity.
The first units of the plan have been constructed in Sistan-Baluchestan. “Within nine months, three 42 MW gas units have been launched in the southeastern province,” he said.
