The 20-megawatt station – the first of its kind in the country – is under construction in Ashkezar County on a 40-hectare land adjacent to Yazd combined-cycle power plant
Iran’s first solar thermal power plant will become operational in Yazd Province in 2022, which will be integrated with the provincial combined-cycle power plant, the head of Iran’s Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“The 20-megawatt station – the first of its kind in the country – is under construction in Ashkezar County on a 40-hectare land adjacent to Yazd combined-cycle power plant,” IRNA quoted Mohsen Tarztalab as saying on Thursday.
An integrated solar combined-cycle (ISCC) power plant is a hybrid technology in which a solar thermal field is integrated within a combined cycle plant. In ISCC plants, solar energy is used as auxiliary heat supplier, supporting the steam cycle, which results in increased generation capacity or a reduction of fossil fuel use.
