Iran to import renewables equipment for its 30,000 MW target
The Supreme Economic Council of Iran approved the import of equipment to build 30,000 megawatts (MW) of renewable power plants, including 25,000 MW of solar farms and 5,000 MW of wind parks.
The council’s resolution, issued on Feb. 8 by Hamid Pourmohammadi, the vice president and head of the Plan and Budget Organization, grants permission for the purchase and import of machinery and equipment needed for green energy projects, IRNA reported on Tuesday.
The implementation of these projects require compliance with durability standards for equipment, as outlined by the Vice Presidency for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-Based Economy.
Previously, Mohsen Tarztalab, the head of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization (SATBA), stated 10,000 MW of renewable energy, regardless of the type, must be added to the country’s daily production capacity annually to meet the target of 30,000 MW of clean energy.
