Iranian President Inaugurates 318MW Combined Cycle Power Plant
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inaugurated a 318MW combined cycle power plant in the country's Southeastern port city of Chabahar on Monday morning.
The power plant built on 66mln Euros of funding is the biggest in Sistan and Balouchestan province and can supply 30% of the province's energy needs.
The combined cycle power plant now uses gasoil to generate electricity, but officials said once the gas fueling unit of the power plant starts operation, the plant will generate over 470MW of electricity.
Iran has recently taken a giant stride towards generating electricity at the national level through the inauguration of different kinds of power plants.
Ahmadinejad had in May inaugurated the world's first solar-gas combined cycle power plant in the central city of Yazd.
The combined cycle power plant, located in Northwestern Yazd, is among the largest power plants in Iran and is the first of a kind in the world.
Iran's first solar power plant was inaugurated in Shiraz in Southern part of the country late 2009.
"All the equipment for the power plant was manufactured using domestic materials and expertise", Director of the solar energy division of the Iranian Renewable Energies Organization Peyman Kanan announced at the time.
