Four PV power plants exist in Tehran, with 0.514, 10, 8.4, and 2.7 MW gross capacity. PVs consume 3.85 MJ of solar energy per 1 kWh of low-voltage electricity generation. Silicon cells have an average efficiency of 11% based on TAVANIR reports (TAVANIR, 2020) and are manufactured in China.
Hydropower plants Reservoir hydropower is the most sustainable electricity generation technology in the electricity mix of Tehran. In addition to having the lowest midpoint and endpoint environmental impacts, hydropower plants impose the lowest energy and NPC over the life cycle.
High-voltage power plants are the backbone of Tehran's electricity system. Except for PVs that produce low-voltage electricity, other technologies in this electricity system generate high-voltage electricity, with CC power plants contributing the most.
Two CC power plants exist in Tehran, with 1506 and 2868 MW gross capacity. Average weighted efficiency of CCs is about 42.5%. CCs consume 0.172 m3 NG and 0.0438 kg diesel per 1 kWh of high-voltage electricity generation. CCs utilize wet cooling. Decarbonized water is utilized to reduce NOx emissions.
