Industries Financing More Power Plants

The second gas unit of Shahid Bakeri Power Plant in Semnan Province, with a capacity of 183 megawatts, was synchronized with the national power grid on Saturday, a deputy managing director of Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said.
“This is the first power plant constructed with the direct investment of industries and its development is on track,” the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven also quoted Seyyed Zaman Hosseini as saying.
The first gas unit became operational in 2022 and the construction of the third gas unit, with a capacity of 183 MW, is underway, he added.
Hosseini noted that a steam unit will be built so that the plant becomes a combined-cycle one.
