TEHRAN, August 2 (NIPNA) — Petrofarhang Holding has officially launched execution and planning stages for three new power generation projects with a combined capacity of 45 megawatts (MW), aiming to double its total grid generation footprint to 90 MW.

Seyyed Mohammad Hashemikia, CEO of Petrofarhang Holding, announced on Saturday that the project operations are being executed via its subsidiary, Iranian Power Process Management Company (MEFNA), to mitigate national grid deficits and secure reliable industrial power.

Overview of Planned Power Projects

The three projects encompass both solar and thermal generation assets:

  • Mahan 1 Solar Power Plant (10 MW): EPC contracts have been finalized and solar PV panel shipments delivered. Construction is underway on a 15-hectare site in Kerman Province, with commercial operation targeted by the end of the current fiscal year (March 2027).
  • Mahan 2 Solar Power Plant (10 MW): Feasibility and engineering studies are underway for a second 10 MW solar facility in Kerman Province.
  • Gas-Fired Power Plant (25 MW): Engineering design and planning have commenced to add 25 MW of thermal generation capacity.

Operational Footprint & Long-Term Renewables Target

MEFNA currently operates three existing power plants delivering over 45 MW to Iran’s national grid. Commissioning the three new facilities will double total operating capacity to 90 MW.

Looking further ahead, Petrofarhang Holding has established a strategic four-year development target to build 400 MW of solar power capacity, supporting national initiatives to expand renewable energy generation and stabilize power supplies for petrochemical and downstream industrial assets.
