Zahedan Power Plant Balancing Electricity Output, Consumption

The second 42-megawatt unit of Zahedan medium-scale power plant in Sistan-Baluchestan Province has been connected to the country's national electricity grid, director of power plant projects at the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“TPPHC is building the medium-scale power station with a total capacity of 126 MW to increase the power production capacity of the southeastern province, prevent voltage drop in the grid, create employment and use the capabilities of local contractors and manufacturers,” the Energy Ministry’s news service Paven also quoted Farshid Haddadi as saying.
The power plant has three 42-MW units. Electricity consumption in Sistan-Baluchestan in the summer is more than what is generated by the power plants of the province. The power plant is under construction to balance output and consumption, provide stable electricity supply and meet the rising demand of the province, he added.
