TEHRAN, Feb. 1 (NIPNA) — The 183-megawatt gas-fired power plant at Iran’s Makran Petrochemical Industrial Park has delivered more than 319,000 megawatt-hours of electricity to the national grid since its commissioning, the developer said Sunday.


According to the public relations office of Negine Makran Petrochemical Development Company, the plant has operated for a total of 117 days and is a key component of the third petrochemical hub’s utility infrastructure in southeastern Iran.

“The 183-MW Makran plant was designed to provide stable power to the industrial park while supporting the country’s electricity grid, particularly in Sistan and Baluchestan province,” the company’s CEO said. “It serves a dual role as a national infrastructure asset, both backing industrial operations and meeting public electricity needs.”

The plant complements other utility facilities in the park, including a 230-kilovolt substation, electricity and gas transmission networks, and water supply systems, enabling the establishment and operation of large petrochemical units in the region.

The CEO added that the project delivers direct benefits to local communities by improving electricity reliability, creating jobs, and strengthening regional development infrastructure.

Negine Makran described the power plant as more than an industrial facility; it is a strategic element of a balanced regional development plan, supporting the emergence of a new industrial hub in southeastern Iran.
