Combined-Cycle Power Plant to Supply Electricity to South, Southeast

The transformer of the first 162-megawatt gas unit of Mahtab Kavir Power Plant in Zarand County, Kerman Province, has become operational and the unit will be connected to the national electricity network soon, director of the power project at the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“The first gas unit of the power station will be launched in mid-May and will help supply electricity to the south and southeastern regions in the three provinces of Kerman, Hormozgan and Sistan-Baluchestan,” Mahmoud Sadeqi was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven.
A power plant transformer generates electrical power from one voltage level to another while maintaining the same frequency but usually different voltage levels. A transformer uses electromagnetic induction to transform the voltage.
