Iran has begun construction on four more nuclear power plants in the country’s south, with expected total capacity of 5,000 megawatts, the official IRNA news agency reported. Iran seeks to produce 20,000 megawatts of nuclear energy by 2041. The country has one active nuclear power plant, a 1,000 megawatt plant that went online with help from Russia in 2011. It’s also building a 300-megawatt plant in oil-rich Khuzestan province, near the western border with Iraq.
