First Phase of Rey Power Plant Replacement to Complete by 2024

The plan to replace the aging Rey Power Plant in Tehran is underway and the first unit of the new high-efficiency F-Class power station will be connected to the network by the summer of 2024, deputy for projects development at the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“The existing Rey Power Plant was built in the 1970s with 40 gas units and a production capacity of over 1,000 megawatts. However, at present, the facility is operating with 21 gas units and a capacity of 500 MW and very low efficiency,” Hamidreza Azimi was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news agency Paven.
According to the development plan, a high-efficiency combined-cycle plant with F-Class gas turbines and a total generation capacity of 1 GW will replace the old units of the plant, he added.
