Historically large scale industrial installation in Iran had been supplied by foreign companies on a turn-key basis; the 'Iran Power Plants Management Company (MAPNA) was created in February 1993 by Tavanir, IDRO and the Saba Investment Company to manage power plant, petroleum plant and railway projects.[2] The group of companies was instrumental in developing Iranian manufacturing capacity of main and auxilliary equipment for power plants, and of plant construction. The company entered into licensing and technology transfer agreements for gas and steam turbines including turbine blades and control systems, Heat recovery steam generators, compressors and electrical generators as well as railway locomotives.[2]
In 2005 the company was in the top dozen companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange, with a value of over $1billion.[3] By 2008 Mapna Group had built or was constructing over 60 projects of total value €17 billion, including power generation schemes with an installed capacity of more than 45GW representing 86% of Iran's internal electrical energy supply.[4]
The company was the forth largest on the Tehran Stock Exchange by June 2010, with a market capitalisation of $2.6billion.[5] In October 2010 Mapna was given a contract for the supply of 1000MW of wind power capacity, as part of a government project to install 2.1GW of renewable energy capacity.[6]
