Located 25km off South Pars Special Economic Zone (SEZ), near the Southern Iranian province of Bushehr, the Asaluyeh combined-cycle power plant is equipped with two gas units. Each unit has a generation capacity of 166MW.
The addition of new 159MW steam unit is expected to further increase the plant’s efficiency by 50% and reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses while eliminating 250 million cubic metres of gas consumption annually.
Two additional steam units with a capacity of 159MW are also currently being constructed and are expected to become operational by next year.
Some equipment for heat recovery steam generators has been imported, while domestic manufacturers have provided other equipment.
