Iran Power Plant Projects Management Company (MAPNA) manufactures boilers for power plants, meeting the domestic need completely, IRIB reported.
A subsidiary of MAPNA has so far manufactured 100 boilers, generating 160,000 tons of steam per hour.
The boilers are used in power plants, oil and gas facilities, as well as water desalination systems.
The boilers are also exported to Syria and Iraq.
Iran's national power generation capacity will be boosted by around 4 gigawatts (GW) by the third calendar month of Tir (June 21-July 21) next year, the managing director of Iran Power Development Company said in October.
"Twenty power plants with the total output of 9.5 GW are projected to be built. Some 40 trillion rials ($3.26 billion) will be allocated to the projects in the first phase," Majid Salehi said.
The projects are scheduled to be completed by March 2015, he noted.
Energy Minister Majid Namjou has said Iran's installed power generation capacity is currently about 67GW.
The Energy Ministry plans to increase the electricity generation capacity by 5GW this calendar year.
