The first power plant constructed with the investment of industries has been connected to the national power grid, a deputy managing director of Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said.
“The first gas unit of Shahid Bakeri Power Plant in Semnan Province with a capacity of 183 megawatts is now operational,” the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven also quoted Seyyed Zaman Hosseini as saying.
The construction of the second and third gas units, each with a capacity of 183 MW, is underway, he added.
Hosseini noted that a steam unit is also to be built so that the plant will become a combined-cycle one.
Usually, one-third of the capacity of combined-cycle power stations is dedicated to steam units, which will be built next to the gas units and no longer require fuel as feedstock.
