Higher Efficiency of Power Plants to Help NIOC Increase Export Revenues

Boosting the efficiency of thermal power plants by 10% can help the National Iranian Oil Company reduce fuel delivery to power stations by 25% or 25 million liters per day between November and April.
Based on data from the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company and the Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company, power plants need 100 million liters of liquefied fuels, namely mazut and diesel to keep functioning in the five-month period, IRNA reported.
Given the Persian Gulf FOB prices for diesel and mazut ($1 per liter), the rise in plants’ efficiency can help NIOC generate at least $3.7 billion in the 150-day period in export revenues.
The less fuel is burnt, the more effectively air pollution will be tackled in metropolitan cities.
