Iran’s Power Generation Capacity Tops 80,000 MW
Iran’s nominal capacity to produce electricity has reached over 80,000 megawatts (MW) following the connection of a number of power plants to the country’s national grid over the past weeks.
With the coming into service of several new power plants, Iran’s overall nominal capacity to generate electricity has reached 80,053 MW.
The latest increase of the power generation capacity was marked by the inauguration of the gas unit of the Hormuz Combined-Cycle Power Plant in southern Iran on November 25 with a capacity of 160 MW.
Speaking to reporters at a press conference in Tehran back in February, Iranian Energy Minister Reza Ardekanian highlighted the country’s self-sufficiency in the area of power generation and said the Islamic Republic is the top producer of electricity in the Middle East.
About 90 percent of power generation equipment, even complicated parts like turbines and generators, are currently manufactured inside the country, the energy minister said at the time.
He added that Iran’s capabilities in the area of power generation have developed over the past four decades so much that the country has become the top producer of electricity in the region.
“At present, we have energy exchanges with all the countries that share land borders with us,” he said.
