Iran committed to producing 10 GW of nuclear electricity

Tehran, IRNA – Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) says that the Islamic Republic is committed to expanding its nuclear electricity sector to reach a generation capacity of 10 gigawatts (GW).

Mohammad Eslami said on Monday that Iran will make efforts to attract foreign investment into its nuclear electricity sector, adding that a budget law for the calendar year to March 2024 projects construction of nuclear power plants with reliance on domestic and foreign investments.

Eslami also emphasized that the AEOI has played a strategic role in tapping the potentials of knowledge-based companies in Iran to use them in the country's nuclear sector. 

Iran’s first and only nuclear power plant in Bushehr is capable of producing nearly 1 GW of electricity.
