Over half of Iran’s gas output to feed power plants
TEHRAN, 9 July 2007 (MNA) --- More than 50 percent of Iran’s current gas output supplies power plants to meet the growing electricity demand, said the deputy petroleum minister for gas affairs.
Seyyed Reza Kassaeizadeh added, “For the moment, more than 160 million cubic meters of gas is transferred to power plants per day -- four times the volume in other seasons especially winter when the figure drastically falls to 40 million cubic meters.
“Domestic refineries’ output in June went 8 percent beyond the figure targeted in the plan and gas consumption in commercial, industrial, and household sectors rose 44 percent to 942 million cubic meters.”
Kassaeizadeh, also the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) managing director, said 300 million cubic meters of gas is currently produced daily.
