This synchronization comes at a critical time when electricity demand in Iran has reached unprecedented levels, making stable power supply more urgent than ever.
The project was executed by MAPNA Power Plants Construction & Development Company (MD-1), whose technical and commissioning teams completed the task with unwavering dedication.
Located at kilometer 44 of the Tehran–Saveh highway in Markazi Province, Rudshur Combined Cycle Power Plant is one of the most advanced in Iran, equipped with state-of-the-art F-class turbines each rated at 345 megawatts. The recent synchronization marks a major leap forward in Iran’s power generation technology and reflects a shift toward high-efficiency, next-generation power plants.
This project represents Iran’s first fully executed F-class power plant, standing as a symbol of the country’s growing self-reliance in the energy sector. Its integration into the grid will significantly bolster network stability and help meet soaring demand.
The F-class turbine’s high efficiency boosts the plant’s overall efficiency from 39.1% in simple cycle mode to over 59% in combined cycle mode, significantly reducing fuel consumption and environmental emissions.
With this unit now online, the plant has the capacity to supply electricity to more than 745,000 households, based on an average residential consumption of 300 kilowatts.
The commissioning process continued uninterrupted even during the recent 12-day Israeli war on Iran. Engineers and technicians worked around the clock to ensure the unit became operational as scheduled.
Following this achievement, MAPNA’s MD-1 has increased its total synchronized capacity to 22,482 megawatts across 163 power generation units. The Rudshur project is owned by Amir Kabir Electricity Generation & Development Company, part of the Mahtab Group. Consulting services are provided by Amran Ofogh Engineering Consultants.
