Natural Gas Delivery to Power Stations up 160%

Natural gas supply to power plants has risen by 160% since March compared to January when it dropped under 100 million cubic meters per day, the head of the National Iranian Gas Company’s Dispatching Department said.
“Gas delivery to 123 thermal power stations has reached 260 mcm/d and it will rise by 16% in July,” Mohammad Reza Joulaei was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
NIGC is ready to supply as much as 300 mcm of gas as feedstock to power plants between July and September if they need, he added.
Almost 85% of Iran’s electricity (68,000 megawatts) is produced by power stations, most of which run on natural gas.
