The first gas-powered unit of Mobarakeh Steel Company’s combined-cycle power plant will be connected to the national grid in March, the head of power projects in the largest steel company of Iran and the wider Middle East and North Africa region said.
“This is the second power station constructed with the investment of industries that will add close to 900 megawatts to the national power grid when it is fully operational,” Hamidreza Khosravanipour was also quoted as saying by Donyayemadan.com.
“As per a deal worth $430 million signed between Iran's biggest steelmaker in Isfahan Province and the engineering MAPNA Group in 2021, the latter was tasked with building the facility in three phases. The first gas unit of the plant with a capacity of 300 MW will go on stream in March,” he said.
“The facility will comprise two gas units and a steam unit with a generation capacity of 300 MW, and it is expected to be fully synchronized with the power grid in 2024.”
