Thermal Power Generation Up 6 GW

About 33 gas- and steam-powered units in thermal power stations have been synchronized with the national power grid since 2021, director general of the planning office at the Thermal Power Plant Holding Company said.
“The new facilities have added 6,000 megawatts of power to the network to meet rising demand,” Hadi Modaqeq was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven.
Projects are being developed to boost the country’s power production capacity by 15,000 MW over the next two years, he added.
The official noted that Iran’s current electricity generation capacity stands at 90 gigawatts, of which 73 GW are produced in thermal power plants.
