Iran to Phase Out Decrepit Power Plants

The Thermal Power Plants Holding Company says it will shut decrepit power plants producing 1,200 megawatts amid a push toward efficient electricity production and investments in renewables, head of the company said.
“Power plants with overall production capacity of 3,000 MW are decrepit and need to be gradually phased out,” Mohsen Tarztalab was quoted as saying.
Two plants, Rey in the south and Tarasht in the west of Tehran will be among the first to be shut.
