There are many ways to enrich Uranium to the 3% to 5% typically used in power plant reactors and gas centrifuges are one of the most efficient and economical way to do this at this time. The real issue is not if they need them, but if they are stopping at that level of enrichment or are their plants designed instead to go all the way to weapons grade enrichment levels: e.g. 80% to 95%.

Centrifuges use in nuclear power plant?

Centrifuges are used for enriching ura nium in the U-235 isotope. They work with gaseous uranium hexafluoride, if you have a long line of hundreds of centrifuges and pass the gas through them, you can gradually spin off some of the heavier U-238 resulting in a main stream with a greater percentage of U-235. This method has been used in Europe for many years and uses much less power than the older gaseous diffusion method which has been continued in the US, but I think that is now changing to centrifuges. This is what the State Dept is so concerned about happening in Iran. If you have enough centrifuges you can get nearly pure U-235 out which of course can be used in weapons.
