"Hamid Chitchian", Iran’s Energy Minister, in his interview with ILNA, answering questions regarding President Hassan Rouhani’s visit to Moscow and discussions on nuclear power plant development, said: "Considering Russia, we have two active projects; one is the project that Atomic Energy Organization of Iran is having with the Russian country and according to the contract, Russians should build two 1000 MW Nuclear Power Plants. There’s also another active project between Moscow and the Energy Ministry on building 1400 MW Power Plant in Hormozgan and near Persian Gulf."

According to top energy official, executive work of the plant would start before 11th cabinet ends its first term. "But the project is going to end in 12th cabinet" he underlined.

In response to a question regarding the minister’s plans in raising water and electricity prices in the year ahead, he told: "according to the Parliament’s resolution the prices won’t change in year 1396."
