Power plants set for extensive overhaul during mid-September, as per Mew's announcement.
The Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy has announced a comprehensive annual maintenance program for 95% of its electricity generation units, which is set to commence from mid-September.
The primary objective of this program is to ensure the stability of power supply and enhance the performance of the units, with a view to returning them to full service. The maintenance program also emphasizes energy-saving measures to reduce the impact on electricity availability and boost efficiency.
Currently, six units with a combined capacity of nearly 1,000 megawatts are out of service but are being prepared to return to the grid before next summer. These units will be followed in sequence by other units from various stations.
Assuring the public of the efficiency of power stations, the ministry stated that all power stations are currently operating efficiently. The maintenance program is also aimed at improving the reliability and longevity of the power plants.
The first unit for maintenance will be at Al-Zour South Station. The maintenance contracts for electricity and water distillation plants are currently in full effect, ensuring that the necessary resources are available to carry out the maintenance program effectively.
The ministry encourages the public to stay updated on the latest news by visiting their website, Instagram, and Facebook pages. However, it is currently unclear who leads the maintenance department for the power plant sector within the Ministry.
Despite the scale of the maintenance program, the ministry assures that there are no delays in the program, and they are committed to minimizing any potential disruptions to power supply. The energy-saving measures implemented during the maintenance period are intended to further mitigate any impact on the power grid.
In conclusion, the annual maintenance program marks a significant step towards maintaining the reliability and efficiency of power plants in the country. The public is encouraged to stay informed and support the efforts towards a sustainable and efficient power supply.
