BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 30. Iran's solar power plants' production capacity will reach 4,700 megawatts by the end of summer 2025, the country’s Deputy Minister of Energy and head of Iran's Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization (SATBA), Mohsen Tarztalab, told reporters, Trend reports.
He stated that Iran has initiated a comprehensive national
initiative aimed at the development of solar energy infrastructure,
targeting an aggregate capacity of 3,000 megawatts for photovoltaic
power generation facilities. This initiative entails the deployment
of photovoltaic systems with an aggregate generation capacity of
5,000 megawatts.
Tarztalab indicated that the existing solar power generation
capacity in Iran surpasses 1,700 megawatts, with projections
anticipating an escalation to 2,000 megawatts by the 21st of June.
By the conclusion of August, an incremental 1 thousand megawatts
will be integrated into the operational capacity of photovoltaic
power generation facilities.
Moreover, the aggregate capacity for electricity generation in Iran
is quantified at 93,455 megawatts, wherein thermal power facilities
account for 76,257 megawatts, hydroelectric installations
contribute 12,144 megawatts, and renewable energy modalities yield
1,450 megawatts. The Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant generates a
substantial output of 1,020 megawatts, complemented by the diesel
units, which deliver an additional 408 megawatts of capacity.
