Rudshur, the First Private Power Plant in Iran, Opened in the Presence of the President

Rudshur power plant is the first private power plant in Iran, based on the ability and experience of Iranian experts.
The first phase of the power plant is with capacity of 792 megawatts. The main fuel of the plant is natural gas and the backup fuel is gasoline.
The president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, referring to the high demand for electricity, especially at peak hours, said: It seems that if the country’s power generation capacity increases to 70,000 megawatts, we have achieved a relative stability in the production sector and with considering the capabilities of the power industry, it seems that it can move ahead of the country and surpassed other industries.
The president argued that: Those who think that the country should be built by the government and using government funds should know that people and private sector built the country. He also spoke in an attempt to obtain a license to use foreign exchange facilities for the private sector, adding that: All government power is directed toward supporting private sector investment and transferring jobs and affairs to them.
