Tender announced for renewable project of 4,500 MW
The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization (SATBA) on Sunday called for the largest tender for the construction of a solar power plant in Iran, with a capacity of 4,500 megawatts.
In order to encourage the private sector to invest and participate in the country’s economic projects, SATBA intends to hold a one-stage tender, with a qualitative evaluation in relation to the participation of domestic and foreign private sector investors in solar power plant construction projects, IRNA reported.
The head of SATBA announced on Sunday that 10,500 megawatts of renewable power plants will be built through financing.
The power plants will be built in the next two years, Mahmoud Kamani said, adding that the construction of solar power plants requires obtaining a series of permits, including land allocation permit, environmental permit, and electricity grid connection permit.
“For the building of 15,000 megawatts of renewable power plants, the construction sites have been announced, as initial agreements were made with institutions to add these power stations to the grid,” the official said. Kamani noted that the development of renewable power plants saves fossil fuel consumption and reduces air pollution.
