Large Industries to Meet Power Needs Independently

About 1,500 megawatts of electricity will be added to the power production capacity of the country by the end of the current Iranian year (March 2024) with different industries completing the construction of power plants, the spokesman of the power industry said.
“The basic plan is for large industries to supply their electricity needs independently and without relying on the national power grid,” Mostafa Rajabi-Mashhadi was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven.
“The construction of 5,000 MW of power plant has been started by industries and they are expected to carry out more projects with a capacity of 10,000 MW in the next two years,” he added.
The spokesman said two gas units of Qods Power Plant in Semnan Province have gone on stream with a capacity of 183 MW each, while other power plants are being built at a good speed.
