Ardabil Electricity Management Affairs 2

Gas

The Ardabil Electricity Management Affairs 2 is a key infrastructure asset in Iran's power generation grid, located on the continent of Asia. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing gas energy resources to generate bulk electricity. The plant's operating entity is not publicly declared in national utility registries. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Iran, Ardabil Electricity Management Affairs 2 occupies the #196 position among all operational gas power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Iran's total installed gas generating capacity, which currently stands at 144,246 MW. The largest operational gas installation in Iran is the Damavand Power Plant with an output of 2,868 MW, making the Ardabil Electricity Management Affairs 2 approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Iran's aggregate generation capacity of 195,552 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of gas power plants (modeled at 40% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Iran consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 38.2594° latitude and 48.2800° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include Sabalan Ardabil combined cycle power plant (gas, 1,280 MW), Ardabil Sabalan Combined Cycle Power Plant (gas, 1,280 MW), Ardebil Sabalan (gas, 954 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Iran.
