In a decisive action that redefines industrial security, Mobarakeh Steel Group has taken the strategic step of internalizing complete and independent control over its most critical resource: electricity. The 914-megawatt Combined Cycle Power Plant is the physical and strategic embodiment of this shift—a massive, forward-looking investment in the Group’s long-term resilience and market credibility. This project is an emphatic declaration to the global steel market that Mobarakeh’s operations are now systematically secured against the volatility of external grid vulnerabilities.

The strategic selection of state-of-the-art Class F gas turbine technology for the plant was a deliberate choice, dictated by an executive mandate for maximum long-term operational efficiency and a reduced environmental footprint. Representing a pinnacle of modern engineering, Class F technology provides superior thermal performance, maximizing the electrical power generated from fuel input compared to older models. This superiority is critical for controlling long-term operational costs and ensures operations are consistent with Best Available Technology (BAT) standards.

Furthermore, the plant’s combined cycle configuration inherently maximizes resource utilization. It achieves this by capturing the vast waste heat from the primary gas turbines and repurposing it to generate substantial additional steam power without supplementary fuel. This highly efficient, two-stage conversion process directly aligns with the Group’s overarching “Green Steel” objectives, proving that energy self-reliance can be achieved alongside stringent international sustainability standards. This investment in technical excellence translates directly into market certainty. By guaranteeing the precise flow of electricity needed for 100% operational uptime, a major source of supply uncertainty is eliminated. This is vital for fulfilling Mobarakeh’s foundational role: supplying over 70% of Iran’s total flat steel demand and meeting international export quotas of 1.375 million tons. Crucially, this is not just about power quantity, but quality. The stability provided by Class F turbines is essential for maintaining the metallurgical precision required for high-value steel grades, directly supporting the Group’s 91.2% Product Quality Index. This comprehensive energy solution removes operational risk from the customers’ supply chain, delivering a higher value proposition than price alone.

This plant is not viewed as an expense but as a strategic investment in process quality and long-term market security. It is the strongest possible demonstration of Mobarakeh’s ability to control its destiny and, fundamentally, an investment in the certainty and peace of mind of its global partners.
