F-Class Gas Turbines to Increase Power Generation Capacity by 5 GW

Operations are underway to develop eight combined cycle power plants equipped with the highly-efficient indigenized F-class gas turbines across Iran, director of combined cycle projects at the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“The new gas-powered units will add close to 5,000 megawatts to Iran’s current installed generation capacity that has reached 90 gigawatts,” the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven also quoted Alireza Nasrollahi as saying.
The construction of F-class gas turbines in combined cycle power plants is on the TPPHC agenda to improve efficiency and reduce electricity waste, he added.
