Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), announces that 70 billion kilowatt hours of nuclear energy have been added to Iran’s electricity grid.
Unit one of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant alone has injected 70 billion kWh of electricity into the national grid, saving $8 billion in energy expenses.
Eslami highlights the benefits of peaceful nuclear energy, emphasizing the cost-effectiveness of heavy water production and its various derivatives.
Iran aims to expand its nuclear power capacity, with plans to construct more power plants across different provinces to generate 20,000 megawatts of nuclear electricity over the next 17 years.
