Iran to Increase Power Production Capacity

Presently, most of Iran’s power plants produce gas and fossil fuels, Mas’oud Hojjat added.

“We are trying to provide possibilities for producing other forms of energy,” he said.

He added that, up to the end of next year, two plants with a total capacity of 3500 megawatts would go on stream, one in the northern city of Damavand and the other in the southern province of Hormozgan.

“Three other power plants are under construction in western and southern Iran,” Hojjat stated. 

He said the projects of Seimareh and Gotvand dams, both in the southern city of Dezful, are under way as planned.
