Iran on Monday unveiled its first domestically produced advanced class-F gas turbine, a milestone the government said will boost the country’s power generation capabilities.The turbine, named MGT-75, was designed and manufactured by MAPNA Group’s turbine engineering and manufacturing arm (TUGA).The unit is equipped with modern technologies including a 3D axial compressor, single-crystal and directionally solidified blades, advanced cooling systems and thermal barrier coatings, giving it efficiency levels comparable to international peers.The class-F turbine has a capacity of 222 megawatts and features a Can-annular combustion system that reduces environmental emissions and allows operation with a mix of natural gas and hydrogen.Officials said the new turbine could help address Iran’s chronic energy imbalance while supporting the expansion of renewable power.They hailed the achievement as a symbol of the country’s industrial maturity and reliance on domestic expertise, positioning Iran to enhance its competitiveness in the energy sector.
