Clean Energy Capacity Expanding in 3 Regions

An estimated 140,700 kilowatt hours of electricity was produced by solar power plants in Kohgiluyeh-Boyerahmad Province in southwest Iran in the first eight months of the current calendar year to Nov. 20, managing director of the provincial power distribution company said.
Referring to the 41 solar power stations in the province, Davoud Rahzadi said: "Of the total 11 were funded by state-owned organizations and 30 by private firms,” IRNA quoted him as saying.
Rooftop photovoltaic systems have been provided to 100  rural households, which is a source of income for the homes because the Energy Ministry guarantees purchase of the excess power they produce for 20 years, he noted.
