IMIDRO is planning to increase its production of electricity by nearly three times within a year as part of a government program to diversify electricity supply in the country.
Chairman of the board of IMIDRO stated : electricity output  would reach 2 gigawatts (GW) in mid-summer next year for the industries.

Mohammad Reza Movassaghi Nia said that IMIDRO has committed to a target of 10 GW of new electricity generation capacity. He declared the commitment is part of a plan to boost electricity supplies delivered to large industries in Iran to avoid power shortages that normally affect the production and exports .
The Iranian government has introduced major incentives for industries to set up their own power plants. The policy is part of a larger drive to diversify Iran’s power supply amid growing demand for electricity in the country.The government has supported plans for the expansion of the sector by offering cheaper and larger energy supplies to industrial plants across Iran.
