Hydropower Output at 14,500 GWh

Power production from hydropower plants reached 14,500 gigawatt hours between March 20 and September 14, director of Iran Hydroelectric Power Management Center Farbod Estiri said.
“Hydroelectric power generated during this period accounted for 13% of total 110,000 GWh,” ISNA quoted Farbod Estiri as saying.
If the same volume of power was generated by thermal stations, close to 4 billion cubic meters of gas would have been consumed, he added.
“With 14,500 GWh output hydropower stations helped reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 9 million tons in the six months.”
