Near 60 percent of Iran\u2019s thermal power plants are running by the country\u2019s private sector, a Thermal Power Plants Holding Company (TPPH) manager.<\/p>\n
According to Gholamreza Mehrdad, General Manager of Generation Technical Support at TPPH, the country is currently 90 percent self-sufficient in producing the equipment for constructing power plants.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are currently moving towards complete self-sufficiency in this field.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n
The official further noted \u201cwe have become completely self-sufficient in the fields of operation, overhaul and maintenance and now we do not need any foreign work force or knowledge in the country\u2019s power plants regarding these areas.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pointing to the fact that over 95 percent of Iran\u2019s electricity is supplied by thermal power plants, Mehrdad noted that the country’s thermal power generation capacity has increased by five percent this year.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s current nominal electricity generation capacity stands at about 80,000 megawatts.<\/p>\n
