📋 Tender Overview
Scope: construction of four nuclear power plant units, each with a power generation capacity of 1,250 MW.
The four more nuclear power plants in the country’s south, with expected total capacity of 5,000 megawatts. Iran seeks to produce 20,000 megawatts of nuclear energy by 2041. The four new plants are being built in the port town of Sirik on Iran’s east coast, some 1,150 kilometers south of the capital, Tehran.
Each phase of the new plant would include a 1,250-MW unit with a generation III reactor at its heart. The first unit is projected to join the national power grid by 2028, while the whole project, the partnership of Iranian and foreign companies, is expected to be completed by 2031.
The project will cost some $20 billion and will create 4,000 jobs. Each plant is expected to use 35 tons of nuclear fuel per year.
