Sahand Combined-Cycle Power Station Development Plan on Track

The construction of steam unit at the Sahand combined-cycle power station in East Azarbaijan Province has registered a work-in-progress rate of 45% and is expected to be linked with the national power grid next summer, deputy for projects development at the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“The facility, located in Bonab County, has a gas unit with the capacity of 300 megawatts and the under construction steam unit will add 140 MW to its total capacity,” Mohammad Ramezani was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal.
Upon the completion of the steam unit, annual natural gas consumption will reduce by 6 billion cubic meters at the power plant, he added.
