“As predicted, the related construction sites and needed equipment for commencing the project will be provided within the next two months,” the Iranian minister said.
The total project costs 1.4 billion euro, according to the reports.
The power plant comprises four units, each with a capacity to produce 350 MW, reports say. It will have an output capacity of approximately 600 megawatts, sufficient to supply electricity to 150,000 homes.
