Thermal Power Plants Prepare for Peak Demand

More than 77% of the repair and maintenance of thermal power plants is over, director-general of the technical office at the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“Overhaul starts every year in September and ends in May the following year. This year 583 gas and steam units in 129 power plants will be ready by June to help ensure sustainable supply during peak demand,” ISNA quoted Esmail Namazi as saying.
“Last year (March 2020-2021), 343 million megawatt hours of electricity was produced including thermal, hydroelectric, nuclear and renewables, of which about 92%, more than 314 million megawatt hours, was thermal (gas, steam, and combined cycle),” he added.
