Brief Description

Bistoun thermal powerplant was designed in order to be a significant power source for the west part of the country. The powerplant is located between two cities, Kermanshah and Bistoun.

This powerplant has been connected to the main network in 1995 for the first time. The development phase of the plant, including 2 steam units, has been totally designed and partially built by BolandPayeh and now is being on hold due to some procurement reason by the client.

Technical Specification

This powerplant has two steam units with 320 Megawatts capacity for each unit and two cooling towers with 165-meter height. The main fuel for each unit’s is natural gas. Mazut is used as the secondary fuel for the units. The required water for the powerplant is transferred through a pipeline to a reservoir located inside the complex from three wells located in an area near the plant with a distance of 16 kilometers close to the Gamasiab River. The water discharge rate is 2,000 cubic meters per hour.
