In
line with policies to curb air pollution, improve efficiency of power plants
and reduce dependence on hydrocarbon resources, plans are underway to convert
gas-powered power plants into combined-cycle plants to generate up to 7,000
megawatts of electricity.
Energy
Minister Hamid Chitchian made
the statement on the sidelines of a meeting with Italy's Minister of
Environment and Land and Sea Protection, Gian Luca Galletti, in
Tehran last week, IRNA reported.
The
two sides discussed environmental issues, renewable energy and cooperation in
building power plants.
"About
10% of our total electricity output comes from hydroelectric power stations and
plans call for extracting more electricity from clean energy sources," Chitchian
said, noting that producing 7,500 MW from solar, wind, geothermal and biomass
power plants is on the ministry's agenda.
Pointing
to the interest of Italian companies in Iran's fast growing energy sector, the
official added that the Italian company Ansaldo STS has provided Iran with equipment for
gas-powered electricity plants.
