Iran's Hydropower Capacity Elevated

Electricity produced from 53 hydropower stations in the last fiscal (ended March 20) amounted to 16,000 gigawatt hours, of which 50% was generated in winter, managing director of Iran Water Resources Management Company, a subsidiary of the Energy Ministry, said.
"If the same amount of electricity was added to the national grid using gas-fueled power plants, it would need at least 2 billion cubic meters of natural gas," Mohammad Hajrasouliha was quoted as saying by Paven, the Energy Ministry's news portal.
