TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The deputy head of Thermal Power Plants Holding Company (TPPH) for strategic affairs said the electricity generation of the country’s thermal power plants reached 300 million megawatt/hour in the first 10 months of the current Iranian calendar year (started March 21, 2023).
Iran’s generation of electricity from the thermal power plants between March 21 and December 22, 2023 registered a three-percent hike compared to the same period a year earlier, Nasser Eskandari stated.
In addition to meeting the electricity demands in the power grid of the country, the thermal power plants have played a leading role in providing sustainable energy for the subscribers nationwide, he added, IRNA reported.
Of the total electricity generated, more than 53 percent is related to the combined cycle power plant units, he said, putting the electricity generated by the combined cycle power plant units in the country from March 21 to December 22, 2023 at 163 million megawatt/hour, showing an about four percent hike compared to the same period in 2022.
