Chabahar Power Plant Production Up 160 MW

The steam unit of Chabahar Power Plant in Sistan-Baluchestan Province was linked with the national electricity grid on Saturday, the head of Saba Power and Energy Holding, a subsidiary of Mostazafan Foundation of Islamic Revolution, said.
“The newly launched 160-megawatt steam unit cost $140 million and has increased total capacity of the station in southeast Iran to 575 MW,” Mohsen Amiri was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
The power plant is located 15 km from Chabahar on the road to Iranshahr and because the station is not linked to the national gas grid, it has to burn liquefied fuel as feedstock.
