BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 19. Iranian authorities have spilled the beans that close to 1.8 trillion rials (around $3.17 million) were poured into two solar power plants that have recently seen the light of day in the Abyek district of Qazvin Province, Trend reports.
The facilities, which cumulatively produce six megawatts (MW) of
electrical output, were ceremoniously inaugurated on August 19,
with the presence of Iran’s Minister of Energy, Abbas Aliabadi,
alongside other dignitaries. These infrastructures constitute an
integral component of a comprehensive strategy aimed at the
deployment of photovoltaic power generation systems in Qazvin
Province, with a projected cumulative output of 600 MW.
The photovoltaic installations are engineered to mitigate energy
deficits, optimize transmission efficiency, and diminish carbon
output. Each station facilitates workforce engagement for a cohort
of 12 to 15 personnel.
The prospective capacity for electrical generation from renewable
energy modalities in Iran is presently quantified at 1,868
megawatts. In the initial quadrimester of the Iranian calendar year
(spanning from March 21 to July 22, 2025), photovoltaic
installations generated an impressive 610 million kilowatt-hours
(kWh) of electrical output, signifying a substantial 71 percent
uptick relative to the corresponding timeframe in the preceding
annum.
