Kashan Combined-Cycle Power Plant Steam Unit Commissioned

The steam unit of Kashan combined-cycle power plant in Isfahan Province came on stream Sunday.
With a capacity to produce 160 megawatts, the steam unit was built in three years and the plant is now connected to the national grid, managing director of Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
Two gas units of the plant, with a total capacity of 324 MW, have been operating since 2009. With the new steam unit the plant will generate 484 MW of electricity, ILNA quoted Mohsen Tarztalab as saying.
The rise in output is in line with policies of the Energy Ministry to increase installed power capacity by 5,000 MW by June.
