List of power stations in Iran

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

By 2012, Iran had roughly 400 power plant units. By the end of 2013, Iran had a total installed electricity generation capacity of 70,000 MW, which had been increased from 90 MW in 1948, and 7024 MW in 1978.[1][2][3] It is planned to add more than 5,000 MW of generation capacity annually to the power grid, which will almost double the total power generation capacity to 122,000 MW by 2022.[4][5] The government of Iran plans to privatize 20 power plants by September 2010.[6] Iran's peak demand for electricity was 45,693 MW during the summer of 2013.[7]

It was predicted Iran accounts for 17.08% of

primary energy demand (PED), followed by oil at 40.8% and hydro power at 1.4%.[citation needed] As of 2010, the average efficiency of power plants in Iran was 38 percent. The figure should reach to 45 percent within five years and 50 percent under Vision 2025.[8][9]

Electricity generation in 2008, accounted for 203.8 billion kWh or roughly one percent of world's total production, which was increased by 5.9 percent comparing with the year before. In 2008, the total

hydroelectric power plants declined by 1.7 percent. As of 2010, the consumer price of electricity in Iran was 1.6 US cents per kilowatt hour while the real production cost was about 8.0 US cents.[10][12] (See also: Cost of electricity by source
)

In 2010, 900,000 jobs were directly or indirectly related to the power industry in Iran. Currently, Iran's spares power capacity stands at 3 per cent, but this amount is much lower than the ideal 25 percent of peak power used.

power grid has been connected to seven neighboring countries Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan[citation needed] and annually, exports 5.5 TWh of electricity.[citation needed

Electric power industry in Iran has become self-sufficient in producing the required equipment to build power plants.

Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran (IDRO) is currently building the country's first 4-megawatt (MW) Combined Heat and Power (CHP) turbo generator in cooperation with the private sector.[citation needed
]

Nuclear power plants

power plant besides the research reactor of IR-40.[18][19][20]
Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant is Iran's first nuclear power plant and it has been manufactured with the technical assistance of Russia.

International projects

Iran is not only self-sufficient in power plant construction but has also concluded a number of contracts on implementing projects in neighboring states.

MAPNA was building power plants in Syria, Oman and Iraq and negotiations were underway to build two power plants in Lebanon.[citation needed
]

Pushkin Pass, Armenia

One of Iran’s most important international projects will see the construction of a $200-million hydroelectric dam in Nicaragua starting 2011. Iran is currently engaged in dam construction in Tajikistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and consultations are underway with a number of other countries. Kenya, Sri Lanka, Bolivia and Mali are the potential target markets being considered for exporting the country’s technical and engineering services.[24] In 2010, Iran won a contract to build a dam in Afghanistan and the third contract to build a power plant station in Syria.[25] In December 2005 a

MW.[27] As at 2012, Iran is building seven large power plants in Syria, Oman, Iraq, and Tajikistan.[28]

Foreign direct investment

Foreign Direct Investment in Iran

According to the

UAE has invested $720 million in construction of a gas power plant as well as a combined cycle power plant in Isfahan and Shiraz.[citation needed] In 2015, Iran and Russia signed an agreement regarding the construction of eight thermal power plants in Iran, with a total installed capacity of 2,800 Megawatts (MW). The investment per MW will be $3.57 million ($10 billion in total).[29]

Privatization

Main article: Privatization in Iran
It is estimated that 18.5% of electricity generated in Iran is wasted before it reaches consumers due to technical problems. Electric power wastage hit $1.1 billion in 2006.[30] Solution include production and use of more efficient light bulbs.

Mapna Company. Sahand, Bistoun, Shazand, Shahid Montazeri, Tous, Shahid Rajaei and Neishabour power stations are among the profit-making plants, work on privatizing them will be finalized by late March 2007.[31] Jahrom, Khalij-e Fars (Persian Gulf) and Sahand power plants will be ceded to the private sector in 2009.[32][33] All domestic power plants will be privatized gradually, except those the government feels it should run to ensure security of the national electricity grid. Power plants of Damavand, Mashhad, Shirvan, Kerman, Khalij-e Fars, Abadan, Bisotoon, Sanandaj, Manjil and Binalood, which have been turned into public limited firms, are ready for privatization.[34] As of 2010, 20 power plants were ready for privatization in Iran.[35] Upon ceding the 20 power plants to IPO, some 40 percent of the capacity of power plants nationwide will be assigned to the private and cooperative sectors.[36] As of 2011, about 45 power plants across the country were to be handed over to the private sector.[37] In 2012, it was announced that Iran's government which has already turned over 17 of its 45 power plants to the private sector since 2008, will transfer 28 more plants with an estimated value of $11.4 billion (USD), by March 2013.[38]

Energy/electricity bourse

The new energy/electricity bourse will be inaugurated in 2012.

subsidies reform plan, the electricity industry will undergo significant changes and will become more appealing to private investors.[41] Iran is the 16th electricity producer in the world.[citation needed
]

As at 2012, Iran had over 400 power plant units and 38 electricity distribution companies which buy the electricity from producers.[

Subsidy Reform Law. The average final price of each kilowatt of electricity will be 1000 rials (around 10 cents) in 2015.[42] According to the government of Iran, power stations have to pay the export price of gas if they want to export electricity and must improve efficiency.[43]

Iran's electricity export and related technical and engineering services exports was valued at $4 billion in 2011.[44] In 2010, the total of Iran’s electricity exports to Afghanistan, Iraq (650 MW), Azerbaijan, Armenia, Pakistan and Turkey reached 878 megawatts and the total of imports from Armenia (237 MW) and Turkmenistan was recorded at 463 megawatts.[42] Jordan, India, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Syria, and the UAE are the new countries that have expressed interest in buying electricity from Iran.[42]
