Project Specifications

Kerman Combined Cycle Power Plant has eight gas units  comprising six V94.2 Ansaldo (Italy) units plus two development gas units (from the credits provided by the Islamic Development Bank), each with a capacity of 159.9 MW (total capacity of 1.270 MW in the gas section) and four TUGA E Type steam units each with a capacity of 160 MW. Thus, the total capacity of the power plant is 1912 MW at ISO conditions.

The power plant is located 3 km from Baghein on the road to Rafsanjan on an area of 120 hectares of land in Baghein district. The main equipment of the power plant in gas section has been procured by Ansaldo (Italy) and the BOP by domestic manufacturers under the management of MAPNA and carried out by domestic contractors.

In the gas section of this project, Iran Power Development Company (IPDC) is the client, Ghods Niroo Consulting Engineers Company is the client consultant and MAPNA MD-1 Company is the contractor.
