Shazand Power Plant Starts Burning Mazut Before Winter

Shazand thermal power plant in Markazi Province has started burning mazut since 10 days ago, 37 days sooner than the time it began using the liquid fuel last year.
A steam turbine power plant with a capacity of 1,300 megawatts, it runs on dual fuel. The primary fuel used for power generation is gas. However, in case of gas shortage, the plant can also run on mazut, ISNA reported.
Mazut is a heavy, low quality fuel oil used as an alternative to run thermal power plants and factories.
