TEHRAN – The electricity generation capacity of the power plants constructed by Iran’s MAPNA Group has reached 50,220 megawatts (MW) which is more than the generation capacity of 160 countries including Switzerland, Sweden, Netherlands, Finland, Argentina, and Norway.

According to the data published by the group, MAPNA’s power plants currently account for over 50 percent of Iran’s total power generation capacity.
