Thermal Power Generation Tops 1.1 Billion kWh/Day

Power generation in Iran’s thermal power plants has exceeded 1.1 billion kilowatt-hours per day, said a deputy manager at Iran's Thermal Power Plants Holding Company.
“The total output of 130 thermal power stations has surpassed 110 billion kWh since the beginning of the current fiscal year [March 21],” Nasser Eskandari was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news service.
Thermal power generation reached a peak of 1.160 billion kWh on July 3, the highest ever recorded in Iran’s electricity sector, he added.
The official said thermal power facilities account for 93% of Iran’s total power demand in summer, but when demand falls, the figure declines to 80%.
