Iran to launch production of solar panels soon
Sima Ghaffari said on Saturday that the production of solar panels will also increase the area covered by such panels to 23,000 hectares per year.
The annual solar energy generation of Iran will increase to 2,300 MW once the production of the panels is completed, she said, without specifying the launching date.
In recent years, Iran has been working on developing its solar energy production as part of efforts to reduce gas emissions and combat air pollution.
In December, the Iranian Energy Ministry unveiled a plan for the construction of 95 renewable power plants.
The plan is aimed at removing the imbalance of electricity and power outages. The total amount of electricity generated by the power plants (11,000 MW) will be 11 times that of the electricity generated at the Bushehr Power Plant in southern Iran.
The nominal electricity generation capacity of the renewable power plants in the country stands at 30,000 MW currently.
Also, Deputy Energy Minister of Planning and Economic Affairs Yazdan Rezaei announced that his ministry will set a new record in construction of power stations by the end of the current Iranian year (March 19, 2024).
Experts believe that the development of renewable power plants in the country can help remove the electricity imbalance to a great extent and also assist the stability of the power grid.
