Thermal Power Capacity Increases by 4,000 MW 

The capacity of Iran's thermal power plants has risen by 4,000 megawatts over the last 12 months, deputy for projects development at the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“Linking up 17 gas and steam units with the national grid and implementing timely annual maintenance operations has helped exceed the output capacity in thermal power stations to 72,000 MW,” Mohammad Ramezani was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
The steam units in Jahrom Power Plant in Fars Province, Haris and Urmia power stations in East and West Azarbaijan provinces, Chabahar Power Plant in Sistan-Baluchestan Province and Besat Power Station in Asalouyeh in Bushehr Province have added 1,500 MW to Iran’s thermal power generation capacity, he added.
