Qeshm Electricity Output to Increase Next Summer

The construction of the steam unit of Ghadir Qeshm Power Plant on Qeshm Island, off the Persian Gulf, is underway and will come on stream next summer.
According to the National Iranian Gas Company’s website, the steam unit will have a production capacity of 160 megawatts and when it becomes operational, the efficiency of the plant will rise from the current 33% to 49%. 
A combined cycle power station uses both gas and steam turbines to produce up to 50% more electricity from the same fuel than traditional power plants.
