Chinese Contractors to Cooperate with Iran in Building 10 Gas Power Plants
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran announced on Sunday that it has struck a deal with the Chinese companies to build 10 gas-burning power plants in the country's Northern Mazandaran province.
"The company will build 10 gas power plants to generate electricity in Mazandaran in cooperation with its Chinese partner," Managing-Director of Iran's Enteqal Sanaat Yas Company Abdolwahhab Mohammadpour Lima told FNA.
He also stated that Turkish and Chinese companies are highly interested in investment in Mazandaran province.
Chinese companies have declared that if we have a taste for joint venture, they are ready to start investment in the province in the form of finance, he added.
Ankara and Moscow have also announced their eagerness to make large investments in Iran's power plant construction sector.
Iranian Energy Minister Majid Namjou announced earlier this month that the country had worked out agreements with Russia and Turkey to build joint power plants for power export to other countries.
"At present, we have reached an agreement with the two countries with investment and technical capabilities to build joint power plants to export the generated electricity to the neighboring or other countries," Namjou said earlier this month.
He continued saying that the Iranian and Turkish sides agreed to build a power plant in Iran so that Ankara could import the generated electricity or transfer it to a third party.
According to an August statement of the energy ministry, Iran has hiked exports of power supplies to the neighboring countries by over 21.67% since the beginning of the new Iranian year (started March 21).
According to the report, Iran exported over 2,701 kw/h of electricity to the neighboring countries since the start of the current Iranian year.
With the implementation of the subsidy reforms law, not only domestic electricity consumption has reduced but also annual growth in electricity demand has been checked, thus paving the way for further export of electricity to the neighboring countries.
Iran has power swap deals with Armenia, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Afghanistan and the autonomous region of Nakhichevan. The rate of exchanges hit 1,332 megawatts on August 2.
