Background

There have been reports dating back to at least 2004 that Russia was planning to help build a coal plant in Iran.[18] Subsequent reports said the plant would be 1,400 MW and gas-fired.[19]

In August 2016 Reuters reported the 1,400 MW plant would be coal-fired and built by Tekhnopromexport, part of Russia's state industrial conglomerate Rostec. The project is estimated to cost US$1.12bn and will be financed through a Russian export loan.[20] However, subsequent reports again stated the plant would be gas-fired.[21]

In October, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Mehdi Sanaei said that the ceremony for the first stone laying will take place soon.[22]

In December, Mohsen Tarztalab, managing director of Iran's Thermal Power Plants Holding Company, said the project would begin construction "in a month or two." The €1.6 billion project was expected to be running in five years, i.e. by 2022.[23]

Subsequent reports on the plant's construction have again stated that the plant will be gas-fired.[24][25]

Gas Power Plant

In December of 2018, director of the Hengam power project Alireza Nasrollahi told reporters they were "halfway through" and that the "gas unit will come on stream next summer."[26][27]

As of Nov. 2019, according to MAPNA Special Project Construction Unit, the construction is ongoing.[28]

The first and second gas turbine units came online in 2021 and the 292 MW steam unit is still under-construction.[29]

In 2021 the open cycle gas turbines came online, and the steam turbine to convert the plant to combined cycle is under construction.[30] The combined cycle unit is built adjacent to the Bandar Abbas steam turbine power station from the 1980s.[31]
