Key achievements include the 183-megawatt gas unit at Neka Power Plant, commissioned in 99 days, and the 345-megawatt steam unit at Rudshur\u2014the largest of its scale in the West Asia, with 58 percent efficiency and annual fuel savings of over 700 million liters.<\/p>\n<p>Steam units at Asaluyeh and Ferdowsi power plants were also commissioned, completing the 18-unit package under a 3,000-megawatt contract. The first geothermal power plant, located on Sabalan&#8217;s slopes with 5.4 megawatts capacity, is now operational and can supply power continuously for 95 percent of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Masoud Moradi, Deputy for Production Operations, reported that thermal power plants account for over 93 percent of the country&#8217;s 101,366-megawatt installed capacity. Despite winter fuel shortages and war-related disruptions, maintenance programs were largely completed, achieving a record 98.8 percent readiness rate during peak consumption and reducing emergency outages to just 1.2 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Two additional units\u2014a 300-megawatt combined-cycle steam unit and a 183-megawatt gas unit\u2014are scheduled to come online soon, adding another 490 megawatts to the grid. Moradi also urged public cooperation in consumption management during the remaining hot weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iran has added 2,028 megawatts of new power plant capacity to its national grid, achieving 75 percent of the 2,709-megawatt target for the current Iranian calendar year (began on March 21), according to the Thermal Power Generation Company.\r\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,22,36,45,35],"tags":[],"services":[],"class_list":["post-18077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-iran","category-lastnews","category-renewable-energy","category-topnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18077"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18077\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18079,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18077\/revisions\/18079"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18077"},{"taxonomy":"services","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services?post=18077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
