side is obliged to invest 1.2 billion euros.”
The
plant developed at Sirik Township on 199 hectares, equipped with
ultra-supercritical boilers, will operate at around 45% efficiency, will
include four sets of 350Mw generators and produce 1.4 Gw/hour electricity a
year.
The
Russian side will also build a gas insulated substation (GIS) to connect to the
plant in cooperation with domestic manufactures and contractors.
TPPH
Co. Managing Director added: “in February 2017, Russia and Iran started power
plants construction that is expected to take about five years.”
According
to Tarztalab, by the end of the Sixth Five-Year Development Plan (2017 – 22)
total power generation capacity should increase by 26000Mw of which 19000 Mw
should come from thermal power.
“Under
regulations outlined by the Energy Ministry, all new power plant units must
have efficiency of 58% and above.” Tarztalab said.
