BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 23. Iran’s Ramin Thermal Power Plant in the Khuzestan Province (south-western Iran) generated approximately 6.8 million megawatt-hours of electricity, during the first 10 months of current Iranian year (March 21, 2022 through January 20, 2023), head of the Ramin TPP, Mohsen Hafezi said, Trend reports citing Iranian Energy Ministry.
“Meanwhile, in the 10th month of the current Iranian year (December 22, 2022 through January 20, 2023) alone, the TPP generated about 535,000 megawatt-hours of electricity,” Hafezi noted.
The official added that the failure of equipment at the Ramin TPP, as well as a decrease in the water level in the Karun River in recent years, have had a negative impact on the power plant's electricity generation.
According to him, it is hoped that the technical deficiencies in the power units of the Ramin TPP will be eliminated, and electricity generation of the thermal power plant will be at the requested level with the provision of the needed funds.
“Along with electricity generation, overhauls are planned to be carried out in the power units of the station in the coming months,” Hafezi said.
Iran's Ramin Thermal Power Plant is considered the largest TPP in Iran. This thermal power plant has 6 steam units each capacity of 315 megawatt-hours. The power plant can generate a total of 1,850 megawatt-hours of electricity.
