Six months after signing an energy agreement with the MAPNA Group, Siemens has shipped the first F-class gas turbine for the Bandar Abbas project in Iran. This is the first stage of the bilateral contract covering the transfer of know-how for F-class gas turbine technology between Siemens and MAPNA.

The 600 MW Bandar Abbas power plant is being built in the southern province of Hormozgān, near the Persian Gulf. MAPNA plans to expand the facility into a combined cycle power plant at some point in the future.
