5th Iran Renewable Energy Confab Slated for Dec. 16

The 5th (online) Iran Renewable Energy Conference and Exhibition (Iran REC 2020) will be held virtually on December 16.
Iran Renewable Energy Association is organizing the event in collaboration with the Energy Ministry and the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization, the Energy Ministry news portal Paven reported.
The virtual gathering will review challenges Iran is facing in developing renewables and offer solutions to improve the business environment in the key industry as the nation fights hostile US economic sanctions and the colossal problems created by Covid-19.
The United States slapped tough economic sanctions after Donald Trump unilaterally abandoned the landmark Iran nuclear deal in May 2018. The sanctions, particularly on the energy, banking, insurance and shipping sectors, bar US companies from trade with Iran. Foreign firms are not spared.
