60,000 m3/day inaugurated on 29 April 2021, completing 100,000 m3/day. The year the build-own-operate contract was signed is not given in the sources consulted (Farab, Tana Energy, Mehr, Tejarat News), so the award or start year is left blank; the earlier 2023 entry was later than the plant's commissioning.
