“The capacity for electricity production of these power plants equals 10 percent of Iran’s need to electricity,” the Unit International Company said in a statement.

The statements said that in line with the agreement reached with Iran’s Energy Ministry, seven gas power plants with capacities of 6,020 megawatts and at a value of $4.2 billion will be constructed in Iran.

Iranian Deputy Energy Minister Hooshang Fallahian had said that Iran would sign contracts with Turkey’s energy companies to construct 5,000-megawatt.
