54 Hydroelectric Power Plants Are Operating in Iran

Hydropower production in the first quarter (March 21-June 20) of the current fiscal year has increased 415% compared to the same period last year.
While hydroelectric power plants across the country generated 2,354 gigawatt hours of electricity in the first three months of last year, hydropower production has shot up five times this year (over 12,000 GW hours), the Energy Ministry news portal Paven reported.
The impressive rise, which was due to the heavy rainfall in most regions, has helped increase stability of the national grid in peak hours in summer when temperature and consumption rise significantly.
Currently, 54 hydroelectric power plants are operating across the country, mostly in the coastal regions in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman.
