Background

The Ghadir Lamerd power station is proposed to be the dedicated power station of the South Aluminum Corporation (SALCO). Salco was established in 2003. Its majority shareholder (51 percent) is the Ghadir Investment Company, the remaining shares (49 percent) are held by the Iranian Mines & Mining Industries Development & Renovation Organization (IMIDRO).

The Ghadir Electricity & Energy Investment Co. was contracted to establish the plant.[10] In June 2019 the plant appeared to be under construction including early civil works.[10]

The first phase of the smelter launched in 2020, with two additional phases slated for 2025.[11] However, as of July 2021 Salco's website states that power is coming from the Assaluyeh power plant, and: "The construction of a dedicated power plant in the vicinity of the complex in the future is also considered in future development plans."[12] It is unclear if completing the power plant is part of the next two project phases.

Ghadir Electricity & Energy Investment Co. did complete the initial power lines and substations.[13]
