“We have predicted producing a total of 10,000 new megawatts in the Southern coasts, and wherever we build a power plant, apart from using seawater for the process inside the power plant, we are planning to build a desalination complex next to it so that we can provide water and electricity for the areas determined,” Eslami said.
“The desalination project with a capacity of 70,000 cubic meters will be completed within 2 to 2.5 years, and we should be able to connect it to a consumption network,” he added.
Bushehr desalination plant is vital in solving the southern county’s water shortage.
Bushehr nuclear power plant, the first and only nuclear power plant in Iran, can produce nearly 1 gigawatt per hour of electricity.
The AEOI plans to build two similar power generation units in Bushehr, aiming at producing and distributing electricity in the country.
