Sanandaj Thermal Power Plant Boosts Efficiency

Operations to increase the efficiency of Sanandaj Thermal Power Plant in Kurdestan Province in western Iran were completed by Iran's top engineering and energy enterprise Mapna, head of technical affairs department at Iran's Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“The power station which has four gas-powered units is now functioning with 37% efficiency up 8% compared to a year ago,” Esmaeel Namazi was quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal.
The $15 million project will help curb the plant’s natural gas consumption by 20 million cubic meters per year. Moreover, CO2 emissions are expected to decrease by 40,000 tons annually, he noted.
