TEHRAN May 25(Shana)--All six units of Ramin thermal power plant in Ahvaz are operational now, managing director of Kkozestan District�s Electricity Company Mahmoud Janghorban said.

He noted that the power plant is working with full capacity now and managed to generate 1.67 thousand megawatts of electricity on Sunday.

Janghorban stated that there are 11 power plants in Khuzestan province including 7 hydroelectric and 4 thermal and gas-burning power plants with generating capacity of 12 thousand megawatts per day.
