Caspian Power Plant Raises Output, Cuts Gas and Water Consumption

The steam unit of Caspian Combined-Cycle Power Plant in northern Mazandaran Province became operational Tuesday with the help of Arian MahTaab Gostar Company, head of Iran's Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“The unit adds 150 MW to the grid and runs on advanced F-Class turbines with 59% efficiency,” ISNA quoted Mohsen Tarztalab as saying Wednesday. The gas unit of the facility was synchronized with the national grid in 2018, he added.
The 460-MW combined-cycle project consists of a 310-MW gas unit, the TPPHC boss said.
Tarztalab noted that with above average efficiency the plant will help meet acceptable ecological norms. The plant is built on 8 hectares -- an area smaller than similar plants producing 460 megawatts.
