Iran's Gas-Fired Plants Turn Down
Gas deliveries to Iran's power plants fell sharply in the first two months of the current Iranian fiscal year but have risen sharply in the last few days. Iran's fiscal year started on March 21. Overall the country's demand rose over the first 80 days of the year.
The director of distribution at Iran’s National Gas Company Nasser Ebrahimi told journalists on June 7 that during last days the gas deliveries to power plants have gone up to 240mn m3/day, about 40 mn m3/d more than the same date last year, while the figure for the first 80 days of this fiscal year stood at 13bn m3 (or 162.5mn m3/d).
Gas deliveries to Iran's power plants fell sharply
According to the latest weekly energy ministry statistics, Iran has delivered about 10.4bn m3 (or 150.5 mn m3/d) to power plants in the first 69 days of this year, about 6.5% less than the same period in last year. This rose by about two thirds in the last 10 days.
Ministry statistics indicate that some 13.5bn m3 of gas were delivered to power plants in the first 80 days of the last fiscal year.
Iran plans to deliver 65bn m3 to power plants this year, about 7bn m3 more than last year. Ebrahimi said that Iran has consumed 16bn m3 of refined gas in total this year, or 1.37bn m3 more year-on-year. Iran consumed 178.2bn m3 of sweet gas over the whole of last fiscal year.
