Peshahang said: Out of 132 power plants in the country, only 14 power plants use diesel fuel, which is 10% of the country’s power plants.
Peshahang, the director of the specialized parent company of thermal electricity, said in a press conference today on the sidelines of the 22nd International Electricity Industry Exhibition: We need 69,000 megawatts in summer, but in winter this amount reaches 30,000 megawatts because some of that capacity is for cooling. From the beginning of October to the end of May, worn out power plants and low efficiency power plants are taken out of operation.
He continued: This time is used to repair worn-out power plants.
The scout added: Now the short-term program of the upcoming winter is the issue. Fortunately, the interaction that exists with the Ministry of Oil, the fuel equivalent of 300 million cubic meters in summer reaches 200 million cubic meters in winter and is used.
Pointing out that our preference is to use liquid fuel, he explained in this context: Out of 132 power plants, only 14 power plants use diesel fuel and the rest use diesel fuel, that is, less than 10% of the country’s power plants.
The CEO of the mother company specialized in thermal electricity added: Tehran has not used diesel fuel since 2008, and diesel is the second fuel in Tehran’s power plants.
He emphasized: Although there is a possibility of diesel fuel for us, the use of gas will reduce repairs, but there must be conditions for such an action.
In response to Mehr’s question that the efficiency of Iran’s power plants is between 34 and 39 percent, while it reaches 60 percent in developed countries, what plan is being implemented to increase the efficiency, he said: In America, the efficiency of power plants is 38 percent, but the units Made with 60% efficiency. Now the efficiency of power plants is 39.6%, which will reach 40% with combined cycle power plants. He added: There is a 4-year plan to put 25,000 megawatts into operation during these years.
