TEHRAN (NIPNA) – The CEO of Sepehr Energy Holding announced that the completion of the second phase of the Saveh Petrochemical Plant and the Siraf Energy megaproject, with a combined nominal capacity of 3.3 million tons of methanol, is scheduled for 2025 and 2026.

In an annual general meeting held on January 19, 2025, the CEO, Ali Yari, shared key achievements of Sepehr Energy Holding, including the completion of strategic mergers, entry into downstream petrochemical industries, an increase in capital to 60 trillion rials, and successful resumption of projects after years of delay.

The holding recorded significant increases in production, sales, and operational income, as well as a net profit of 1,600 billion rials for the first time in the history of the holding.

Yari reported that Phase 1 of the Saveh Petrochemical Plant, with an annual production capacity of 1.65 million tons of AA grade methanol, was inaugurated in May 2021. Despite challenges in utility and feedstock supply, it produced 2.7 million tons of product by the end of 2023.

The CEO further highlighted that the completion of the second phase of Saveh Petrochemical and the Siraf Energy megaproject, set to produce 3.3 million tons of methanol, is underway in the coastal cities of Assaluyeh and Bandar Dayer, and will generate over 1,500 jobs upon completion. These projects are scheduled to start production in 2025 and 2026.

The merger of the Dena project into Saveh Petrochemical, Yari emphasized, marked one of the most significant achievements of Sepehr Energy Holding, creating numerous opportunities for financial growth and restructuring. This merger enabled the company to navigate legal and financial hurdles, secure funding, and strengthen its market position.

Sepehr Energy Holding is also focusing on expanding into downstream industries and has launched the construction of facilities for producing acetic acid, vinyl acetate monomer, and synthetic ethanol. Furthermore, it has made substantial progress with the Siraf Energy Petrochemical Plant, which has reached 65% completion.

In addition to petrochemical ventures, Sepehr Energy Holding has invested in infrastructure projects, including the construction of a nine-story hotel in the Bushehr province, with financing secured for the project through the sale of services. The company also initiated studies for a cultural, sports, and administrative complex to be built on 8.5 hectares of land.
