Thermal Power Plants Begin Overhaul 

Operations to repair and overhaul thermal power plants have started, director general of the Technical Office at the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“Overhaul starts every year in September and ends in May of the following year. This year, 583 gas and steam units in 129 power plants will be ready by June to help ensure sustainable supply during peak demand,” IRNA quoted Esmaeil Namazi as saying.
THPCC oversees dozens of fossil fuel power plants with installed capacity of over 68,000 MW – the bulk of Iran's electricity demand. It is also in charge of developing 7,000 MW of gas-powered units in Shiraz, Tabriz, Kashan, Urmia and Chabahar combined cycle power plants.
