The second phase of the Pasargad Power Plant in Varamin, with a capacity of 6 megawatts, has entered the clean electricity production circuit. This inauguration took place during Mohammad Sadegh Mo'tamedian's third provincial visit to Varamin, and with the addition of this new capacity, solar electricity production in this city has increased.
Development of Renewable Energies in the Fourteenth Government
The Fourteenth Government pays special attention to the development of solar power plants as one of its main strategies to reduce electricity imbalance and diversify the energy mix. The goal is to increase the country's renewable capacity to 30,000 megawatts in this regard. This action helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels and increase the stability of the electricity grid.
Solar Electricity Production Capacity in Tehran Province
Tehran province, following this approach, has prioritized the development of solar electricity production from large-scale power plants to other urban and rural capacities. The operational solar capacity of Tehran province, which was about 23 megawatts before the Fourteenth Government, has now reached approximately 400 megawatts. The province's management plan is to bring at least 1,000 megawatts of new capacity online by the end of this year and to advance about 3,000 megawatts next year.
With the addition of 6 megawatts of new capacity, Varamin has increased its share in the development of clean electricity and the reduction of energy imbalance in the province. This project not only helps increase electricity production during peak sunlight hours but also leads to reduced fuel consumption and pollution.
