Largest Rural Solar Power Project Operational in Khorasan Razavi
EghtesadOnline: In addition to expanding green energy, small-scale plants will generate income for deprived families, as the Energy Ministry has guaranteed the purchase of solar power.
In line with policies to develop small-scale solar power stations in rural areas, 100 rooftop photovoltaic panels were linked to the national power grid in Chah-Nasar Village in Neyshabour County, Khorasan Razavi Province, the head of the provincial regional electricity company said.
“This is the largest small-scale solar power station project in Iran’s rural districts,” IRNA also quoted Alireza Barati as saying.
Each panel has a capacity of 5 kilowatts and as per a contract between Iran's Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization (Satba) and households with rooftop panels, the former is expected to buy the electricity from the latter at prices approved by the Energy Ministry, he added.
