Bushehr N. Plant to Add 1,000MW of Electricity to National Grid Soon

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's first nuclear power plant in the Southern port city of Bushehr will add 1,000 megawatts of electricity to the national grid in the near future.


Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Fereidoun Abbasi said 1,000 MW electricity generated from nuclear power plant would join the national grid in coming months.

He said 700MW nuclear power joined the national grid mid February, adding different tests would be made during the process and the country would get access to the full nuclear power after tests are conducted successfully.

500MW of Iranian nuclear power has already joined the national grid in 2011.

Earlier, an Iranian Energy Ministry official had announced that Bushehr power plant will reach its nominal power generation capacity after the operation of the second phase of the plant.

Deputy Energy Minister Mohammad Behzad said at the time that that the first phase of the plant is functioning at the capacity of 500 megawatts, and noted that the second phase will soon be fully operational.

After the operation of the second phase, electricity production at Bushehr power plant will reach its nominal capacity of 1000-megawatt by the end of the current Iranian year (ends on March 19).

Late in November, Abbasi said that Bushehr nuclear power plant will become fully operational, producing the maximum amount of electricity during the Ten-Day Dawn celebrations (marking the Iranian revolution's victory over the former Pahlavi regime) from February 1 to 11, 2012.

"Numerous tests have to be carried out on the plant, to make sure that no technical glitches exist and the plant functions properly," Abbasi said at the time.

He said the Bushehr plant has produced electricity on several occasions before, at less than maximum capacity, of course.

Abbasi said the plant was connected in a 15-day period to Iran's national electricity grid, and it produced 456 Megawatts of electricity during those 15 days.

"We are currently trying to run the plant at 75 percent of maximum capacity," he said.

On October 26, Iran started injecting Russian fuel into the core of the Bushehr nuclear power plant in the initial phase of launching the nuclear reactor.

Iran held a ceremony in September to mark the preliminary launch of the delayed project.

The facility operates under the full supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
