Bushehr NPP Prevents Power Outages

Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in the southern namesake city has injected close to 60 billion kilowatt hours of electricity to the national grid over the last decade, helping prevent power outages and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the head of the facility said.
"The nuclear power station has helped avoid the emission of 50 million tons of CO2 in the 10-year period," Reza Banazadeh was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
The facility generated about 6 billion kilowatt hours of power in 2022, the production of which in a thermal power station would need at least 2 billion cubic meters of gas, or 10 million barrels of crude.
The official noted that the plant has been temporarily shut down for technical overhaul and refueling, and will resume operation in summer to add 1,000 megawatts to Iran’s electricity output capacity.
