The head of SATBA announced plans to raise the country's renewable power plant capacity to 12,000 megawatts before next year's peak, saying that removing obstacles to equipment supply, facilitating grid connections and supporting private-sector investors are top priorities.

The head of the SATBA organization announced plans to increase the capacity of the country's renewable power plants to 12,000 megawatts before the next year's peak and said: removing obstacles to the supply of equipment, facilitating connection to the grid and supporting private sector investors is a priority.

According to Ambassador Arjan's report, Mohsen Tarztalab, head of SATBA organization, referring to the 500 megawatt renewable power plant project fund, said: This fund will also be available to the private sector, and it should be noted that the reception of the Noor project fund has been very good, and the Energy Exchange has suggested that according to this reception, the conditions for increasing the capacity of the fund will be provided. We hope that the symbol of this fund will be reopened in the next 2 weeks so that the people who participated in the subscription can benefit from its benefits.

Also, according to Abolfazl Shiroudi, Director General of Satba's Wind Power and Biomass Development Office, he recently announced that the amount of private sector investment demand in the field of wind power plants is more than the desired capacity, and for this reason, investors are evaluated based on specific checklists.

According to him, in this process, the possibility of connecting the proposed buildings to the electricity grid, necessary permits and other requirements will be examined, and after the evaluations, the qualified investors will enter into the processes related to the conclusion of the contract.

According to Shiroudi's statements, Central and Isfahan provinces are respectively the leading provinces in the installed capacity of solar power plants, and the title of the leading provinces in the installed capacity of wind power plants also belongs to the provinces of Qazvin and East Azerbaijan.
