In response to the power KR R/A40 steel shortage during the summer heat wave and in line with the global trend of green industry transformation, Iran's largest steel producer Mobarakeh Steel Company (MSC) continues to promote energy self-sufficiency projects. It has officially completed the construction of the first phase of its solar power generation project and plans to further expand its renewable energy layout.
MSC has recently officially launched the first phase of a solar power project with a total installed capacity of 600 megawatts (MW), and has already transmitted 120 MW of electricity to the State Grid. Although the power station has been put into operation before, it is still operating at low power. According to the plan, the next KR R/A40 steel phase of 120 MW of production capacity is expected to be put into use before the end of the first half of Iran's calendar year (i.e. before September 22, 2025).
At that time, the total amount of energy that MSC can allocate as a whole will reach 850 MW, but its steel production requires about 1610 MW of electricity, which still has a gap. CEO Saeed Zarandi stated, "We plan to add an additional 420 MW of power generation capacity within the year, including 300 MW from combined cycle power plants and 120 MW from new solar projects. ”
MSC's move aims to alleviate the long-standing energy supply bottleneck faced by Iran's steel industry. According to Gholamreza Salimi, Vice President of Operations at MSC, in 2024-25 Iran, due to energy shortages, MSC lost 440000 tons of production, Hormuzgan Steel (HOSCO) lost 329000 tons, and Saba Steel KR R/A40 steel Company lost 54000 tons.
