An estimated 5,000 megawatts in new electricity production capacity will be added to the national grid by the next summer, the head of Iran’s Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
"Efforts are underway to establish some 25 power generation units across the country through next summer to prevent potential blackouts in the hot season," Mohsen Tarztalab was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
According to the official, the plan is in line with the Energy Ministry's push to bring on stream 5,000 MW of new power output capacity annually.
