TEHRAN, June 11 (NIPNA) – Fajr Energy Persian Gulf has launched a three-phase recovery, reconstruction, and capacity expansion program for its power generation assets, targeting a total capacity of 2,600 megawatts, according to company officials.

The project follows an incident on April 15, 2026, which damaged parts of the company’s power infrastructure. Company representatives said the first phase of recovery was completed in less than 15 days, restoring a portion of operational capacity and ensuring continued energy supply stability for industrial users in the region.

According to the project manager for reconstruction, the company’s strategy is structured across short-, medium-, and long-term phases. The short-term phase focused on rapid restoration of available units, while the next stages include repair and rehabilitation of damaged turbines and generators in two power plant zones, alongside the development of new combined-cycle facilities.

Planned capacity includes 1,600 megawatts in Zone Two and 1,000 megawatts in Zone One. The reconstruction roadmap also involves parallel engineering and design work for new power plants to replace lost capacity and support expansion.

Company officials said major site preparation, debris removal, and unit recovery operations are underway, with technical teams working continuously on implementation.

The first phase of returning gas-fired units to service is expected within approximately one year, while completion of new combined-cycle plants is scheduled over a 22-month timeframe.

The expansion is aimed at strengthening energy supply reliability for industrial consumers in Iran’s petrochemical economic zone, according to the company.
