Gas Use in Power Plants Jumps as Hot Season Arrives

As the warm weather approaches, households have switched on their cooling appliances resulting in  considerable hike in electricity consumption. Thus, gas supply to thermal power plants has increased by 62% compared to last month, the National Iranian Gas Company spokesman said.
“Average daily gas consumption in thermal power plants was 120 million cubic meters in the first month of the Iranian calendar (March 21-April 20). It reached 195 mcm on May 13 -- 75 mcm more than the last month average,” IRNA quoted Majid Bujarzadeh as saying.
