At 1,850 MW, Ahwaz (ramiin) is well above the median oil plant in Iran (640 MW). Technically it is described as OCGT. Its current lifecycle status is “Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Oil-fired plants burn heavy fuel oil or diesel, usually as peaking or backup capacity on islands and grids without gas pipelines; high fuel cost keeps their utilisation low.
