The Kohanouj Power Plant 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 75 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing oil energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Iran Power Generation and Transmission Company (TAVANIR), which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2015, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Iran, Kohanouj Power Plant occupies the #17 position among all operational oil power plants. Its 75 MW capacity represents a 0.50% share of Iran's total installed oil generating capacity, which currently stands at 15,055 MW. The largest operational oil installation in Iran is the Ahwaz (ramiin) with an output of 1,903 MW, making the Kohanouj Power Plant approximately 25.4 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0384% of Iran's aggregate generation capacity of 195,552 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of oil power plants (modeled at 15% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 98,550 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 32,850 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 27.9660° latitude and 57.6766° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Shobaad (gas-fired, 484 MW), the Kahnuj combined cycle power plant (gas-fired, 484 MW), the Shobad Kahnouj Power Plant (gas-fired, 484 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.
