TPPHC Cannot Retire Ageing Power Plants

So long as construction of new thermal power plants in Tehran Province is not complete he ageing gas and steam units cannot be phased out, head of the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“To keep old power stations operating is a necessary evil as decommissioning will lead to serious issues in the capital,” Mohsen Tarztalab was quoted as saying by IRNA.
Tarasht Thermal Power Plant west of Tehran and the Rey and Besat stations in the south meet 90% of the total power need in the province, he said.
