Mazut Impairs Power Plants’ Overhaul

Feeding thermal power stations with liquefied fuel (mazut) instead of natural gas from Dec 2019 to Feb 2020 is taking a toll on the plants’ overhaul operations, the Energy Ministry spokesman for power department said.
“Unlike in the past when 95% of power plants’ overhaul was implemented before the hot season (May), operations are expected to last one month longer this year,” ILNA quoted Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi as saying Saturday.
This year maintenance work will take longer and be costlier compared to the past, he added.
