The capacity of generating electricity from renewable resources has reached 841 megawatts (MW) in Iran, nearly double the figure for the last year\u2019s same period, IRNA reported, quoting an energy official.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the opening ceremony of Iran\u2019s 4th Renewable Energy Conference on Monday, Homayoun Haeri the deputy minister of energy for electricity affairs, said \u201cThe country\u2019s renewable electricity generation capacity will rise to 1000 MW by the end of the current [Iranian calendar] year (March 19, 2020).\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that Iran has good sources of renewable energy in addition to its huge fossil energy resources, adding that currently, 60,000 MW of wind energy potential has been identified across the country.<\/p>\n

Haeri further stressed the growing role of renewable power plants in the country\u2019s energy basket, saying \u201cthe country\u2019s renewable power plants provided over 500 MW of electricity to the country\u2019s power network during the peak consumption period in summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Renewables, including hydropower, account for just six percent of energy generation, versus natural gas\u2019 90 percent share.<\/p>\n

Overall, in the next five years, Iran is aiming for a 5,000 MW increase in renewable capacity to meet growing domestic demand and expand its presence in the regional electricity market.<\/p>\n

According to Iran\u2019s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization (known as SATBA) the number of small scale solar power plants across the country which are used by households or small industries is being increased noticeably as Iranian households and small industries have embraced the new technology with open arms and investors also seem eager for more contribution in this area.<\/p>\n

Back in February, Head of SATBA Seyed Mohammad Sadeqzadeh announced that Iran also plans to add electricity generated from renewable sources to the export backset. \/ T.T\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
