Two small-scale power plants with distributed generation system joined the national grid in Rafsanjan County, Kerman Province on Tuesday, managing director of the provincial electricity distribution company said.
With a capacity of 58 MW, the plants were built by a private company and cost $38 million, the Energy Ministry news portal quoted Aliasghar Nasrollahi as saying.
Each plant (with capacity to produce 29 MW) has three gas-powered generators.
Distributed generation or on-site generation (OSG) refers to electricity produced in small quantities near the point of use, as alternative or supplement to traditional centralized grid-connected power.
