Bushehri outlined the Ministry’s future directions regarding power generation and water desalination projects, renewable energy projects, and the development of smart networks and meters. He set expected timelines for the implementation and completion of these projects. The Minister emphasized the importance of involving the private sector in traditional and renewable energy production projects, citing the successful experience of the North Al-Zour power plant.
