EghtesadOnline: Director for monitoring group on investment contracts of Thermal Electric Generation Specialized Company Jamshid Sajdei said on Thursday that contracts to generate 5,000 megawatts electricity have been convened with investors and companies from Turkey.

EghtesadOnline: Close to 800 megawatts of new electricity generation capacity were added to the national grid over the last three months, an increase of nearly 1% in the country's 77,000-MW installed capacity, the head of Iran’s Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.

EghtesadOnline: In a bid to diversify energy resources and shift away from fossil fuels for electricity generation, the government says a quarter of Iran's new power generating capacity in the next four years should come from renewables.

EghtesadOnline: A slew of foreign investors have agreed to build thermal power plants in Iran in what would raise the country's electricity generating capacity to more than 80,000 megawatts, an official at the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company of Iran said.
