Based on technical studies and estimates, the implementation of the Tabriz Steam Power Plant cooling system optimization will enable an approximately 80% reduction in water consumption. This will decrease the annual water consumption per unit by nearly 5 million cubic meters from 6.22 million to 1.25 million.
The water saved through this project for each power plant unit equals the amount of water consumed by a city of 98,000 residents annually. In addition to the environmental benefits and resource efficiency, this project will play a vital role in maintaining the Tabriz Steam Power Plant’s generation capacity. Technical assessments indicate that it will prevent a loss of around 50 megawatts of production capacity per unit and support sustainable electricity production under conditions of water scarcity.
Tabriz Steam Power Plant comprises two steam units, each with a nominal capacity of 368 megawatts. This plant is considered one of Iran’s key electricity generation facilities.
MAPNA Power Plants Construction & Development Company (MD-1) is the contractor of this project while Niroo Atieh Saba Company is the client. The signing of this contract marks a significant step toward developing modern water consumption management solutions in Iran’s power industry. It also serves as a testament to the clients’ confidence in the technical and executive capabilities of MAPNA in implementing specialized energy and efficiency projects.
