BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 1. Iran has recorded a 46 percent growth in the electricity production capacity of its Thermal Power Plants (TPPs) over the past year, Hamed Seirafian Pour, Deputy Director of Iran’s Thermal Power Company, told reporters, Trend reports.
Pour indicated that an augmentation of 3,870 megawatts was
realized in the electricity generation capacity throughout this
timeframe. Furthermore, a total of eight thermal power plants
(TPPs) have initiated the deployment of additional gas blocks,
while two TPPs have successfully commissioned new steam generation
units into operational status. Seyrafianpur also underscored that
the constraints on steam blocks across 14 thermal power plants,
aggregating a cumulative capacity of 750 megawatts, were lifted
throughout the fiscal year.
“The generation of electrical energy at thermal power plants
culminated in an output of 355 billion kilowatt-hours in the
preceding fiscal year, signifying a 5 percent augmentation relative
to the prior annum,” he articulated.
The total capacity for electricity generation from Iran's TPPs has
reached an impressive 77,032 megawatts. Combined-cycle units
contribute approximately 35,663 megawatts, while gas units provide
25,539 megawatts, and steam units yield 15,830 megawatts of
potential generation capacity.
