He added: “If we have rain, we can forecast the production of 480 MW of electricity and one of the largest hydropower plants in the country will be activated.”
The CEO of the West Regional Electricity Company emphasized: “Unfortunately, this large power plant does not currently generate electricity due to the lack of water behind the dam.”
Asadi reminded: Currently, the power plants of Ilam Petrochemical and Gas Industrial Complexes are active in the province and help generate electricity in the province.
