End of Mazut in Tehran Power Plants

Use of mazut as feedstock in power plants in the capital has reached zero, head of Tehran Thermal Power Generation Company, a subsidiary of Iran's Thermal Power Plants Holding Company, said.
"Mazut, the eco-unfriendly fuel, accounted for 50% of feedstock in five main power plants in Tehran Province up until 2015. That has now declined to zero with positive and encouraging effect on curbing air pollution," Yaghoub Rouhi was quoted as saying by IRNA.
Parand and Shohadaye Pakdasht combined-cycle power plants, Tarasht Thermal Power Plant in the west and the Rey and Besat stations in the south meet the electricity needs of the province.
“So long as the facilities are supplied with enough natural gas, there will be no need for liquefied fuels.”
