The copper factory is state of the art and to my knowledge one of the biggest ones if not the biggest one of the bioleaching tech. We have entered the major industrial innovation phase gents!Using bioleaching technology (metal solubilization by microorganisms)
How things change when new government is coming:
MOU to start the construction of 13 power plants for industrial units across the country,”
According to the official, the mentioned power plants are financed by 12 investors from various industrial sectors and will be constructed within 2.5-3 years.
The official noted that the power plants will have a total capacity of about 10,536 megawatts (MW) whose output will be used by the mentioned industrial units.
As reported, the said power plants will be constructed in Isfahan, Hormozgan, Markazi, Yazd, Kerman, Fars, Semnan, and Khuzestan provinces.
10536 Mega Watts..that is equivalent to 10 nuclear power plants (Iran's nuclear reactor generates 1000 MW)..all units will be built by Iranian industry, my guess MAPNA will be busy!!!.
Yes as you mentioned the 10,000MV that they will build is what is missing today interms of capacity...so this MOU will be doing what Privious government neglected 4 years ago.Iran's electricity production presents a deficit of some 10000 to 2000 MW, hence the current power cuts. The current government's Minister of Energy was explicitly quoted as saying he will not bow to the "power plant construction mafia", meaning he does not want to accelerate the construction of power plants. And indeed, this government vastly fell behind schedule in terms of generation of additional power output as required by the Sixth Development Plan.
This is, in fact, the government responsible for the smallest increase in electricity production ever since the early years of the Revolution! Whether Mousavi's, Hashemi's, Khatami's or Ahmadinejad's administrations, every single one of them increased power output by a (much) larger percentage.
Another reason for the power cuts is that elements linked to and acting on behalf of the liberal Rohani administration may be causing these cuts on purpose, as a way to anger the public, turn it against the entire system, and thereby compromise President-elect Ebrahim Raisi's popularity shortly before he takes office, or worse, trigger some form of domestic instability in guise of "revenge" for their defeat at the presidential election. Notice that in certain areas, power cuts are not even announced beforehand by the government!
Equally important to note is that cryptocurrency mining and the weather conditions, which have been named as reasons for the power cuts, are in fact nowhere to blame. The sum of legal and illegal cypto-mining activities in Iran is consuming a mere 660W of electricity. It is first and foremost the Rohani administration's failure to sufficiently invest in new power plants in order to satisfy the increase in national power consumption as accurately predicted by the Sixth Development Plan, which is at stake here.
Iran has some of cheapest rates for electricity, natural gas and absolutely no conservation policy..so much of electricity and gas is wasted ..Chinese bit coin operators setup shop in iran because electricity is soooo cheap in iran..add to that the lack of long term planning by the current government and you get the shortage..I read they are going to completely change the way they establish rates for consumption of energy..as for water let's hope that mega water project lines get built in the new government.
why the next government must take credit for what this government did ? let next government take credit of its own workThe last days of this government and some more projects are being delivered (I am guessing to ensure the next government does not take credit for it..lol)
$5.1b Roads and urban development projects inaugurated
Some of the major project delivered include:
My disappointment is that the Tehran-Shomal Highway is still not completed. It has been almost 20 years!!!
- 321 kilometers (km) of highways and main roads
- 16 port projects,
- two multi-purpose sports halls,
- 262 other sports venue projects
I have no issue with that..why the next government must take credit for what this government did ? let next government take credit of its own work

51,000 Low cost housing units worth $5.2 billion handed over to owners.

some highlights about low cost housing :
Finally the last of the 2.5 million low cost housing units planned by previous Ahmadinejad government delivered by this government
Iran apparently needs about half million low cost housing per year to just keep up with the demand.
Very important to see the Raisis government approach to this..I have even heard one million housings per year but will have to wait and see.
Housing and construction is one of the key contributors to national GDP.
Here the extracts from the report:
TEHRAN - The second group of the national housing plan’s units as well as some of the units under the Mehr Housing initiative were handed over to the applicants in an online ceremony on Monday, IRNA reported.51,230 units worth 220 trillion rials (about $5.2 billion) were handed over to the owners in 31 different provinces.
Some interesting shots of the type of buildings for these Low cost housing project:

Yes the bulk of the units were the ones started by Ahmadi nejad under "Mehr" housing plan.Of course I meant 660MW rather than 660W dedicated to cryptocurrency mining... which still represents less than 1% of Iran's total power output, so the point stands.

This is beyond strange, because the Rohani administration's Minister of Roads and Urban Development, Abbas Ahmad Akhoundi (responsible for housing policies) is famous for declaring he takes pride in the fact that under his watch, no social housing whatsoever was built. The current treasonous ultra-capitalist government officially suspended Mehr housing development.
And here's black on white evidence:
خوندی: افتخار میکنم حتی یک مسکن مهر افتتاح نکردم!
Perhaps these are projects from the Ahmadinejad era hastily completed at the last minute as a face-saving measure by the lame duck Rohani cabinet.
This project is a game changer, and shows (once again), the vision that Iranian leaders have.Update to Page 1 :
First phase of the massive 1000 kilometer , one million barrel a day oil pipeline to the sea of OMAN (jask port) is coming on stream. The first phase is ready (official inauguration in two days) will carry 300,000 barrels per day and the final capacity will be one million per day..Total cost $2 billion dollars. This will make Iran oil exports free of Persian Gulf for the first time.
New Pipeline Transfers Oil to Iran’s SE Coast, Hormuz Strait Circumvented
July, 20, 2021
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A major oil pipeline that has come on stream along Iran’s southern coastline allows the country to export 300,000 barrels of oil every day by loading tankers in the port of Jask on the Oman Sea coast without them having to cruise the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Oil Ministry authorities said on Monday that crude had finally reached the Jask port on the Sea of Oman after traveling some 1,000 kilometers from Iran’s oil pumping facilities in Persian Gulf’s westernmost region of Goureh through a newly-built pipeline that stretches around the Strait.
Authorities in Petroleum Engineering and Development Company (PEDEC), a subsidiary of the National Iranian Oil Company, said on Monday that crude had started to be loaded to a tanker parked six kilometers off Jask in the runup to inauguration.
PEDEC’s CEO Touraj Dehghani said that a first phase of the Goureh-Jask Pipeline project will enable Iran to export 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude from the new export facilities in the region, Press TV reported.
The pipeline starts at Goureh oil terminal in the southwestern province of Bushehr (on the Persian Gulf coast) and runs to the Jask port terminal in southeast Iran (on the Sea of Oman coast).
Iran began work on Jask oil terminal and the 1000-kilometer pipeline system in late June 2020.
The $2-billion project enables the country to deliver oil for exports outside the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway through which nearly a third of the global seaborne oil trade is accommodated.
