TEHRAN- Iran has added 2,028 megawatts of new power plant capacity to its national grid, achieving 75 percent of the 2,709-megawatt target for the current Iranian calendar year (began on March 21), according to the Thermal Power Generation Company.<\/p>\n
Ruhollah Esfahani, Deputy for Project Development, announced that despite challenging conditions over the past seven months, no power plant development projects were halted. Key achievements include the 183-megawatt gas unit at Neka Power Plant, commissioned in 99 days, and the 345-megawatt steam unit at Rudshur\u2014the largest of its scale in the West Asia, with 58 percent efficiency and annual fuel savings of over 700 million liters.<\/p>\n
Steam units at Asaluyeh and Ferdowsi power plants were also commissioned, completing the 18-unit package under a 3,000-megawatt contract. The first geothermal power plant, located on Sabalan’s slopes with 5.4 megawatts capacity, is now operational and can supply power continuously for 95 percent of the year.<\/p>\n
Masoud Moradi, Deputy for Production Operations, reported that thermal power plants account for over 93 percent of the country’s 101,366-megawatt installed capacity. Despite winter fuel shortages and war-related disruptions, maintenance programs were largely completed, achieving a record 98.8 percent readiness rate during peak consumption and reducing emergency outages to just 1.2 percent.<\/p>\n
Two additional units\u2014a 300-megawatt combined-cycle steam unit and a 183-megawatt gas unit\u2014are scheduled to come online soon, adding another 490 megawatts to the grid. Moradi also urged public cooperation in consumption management during the remaining hot weeks.<\/p>\n
