Power production by small-scale power plants with distributed generation system increased by 1,000 megawatts in five years, a spokesman for the state-run Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said.
"DG power plants nationwide have a capacity of 1,700 MW, up 142% compared to 2015," Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi was quoted as saying by Bargh News.
Urging private investors to help expand power production, he said the Energy Ministry buys electricity under a guaranteed five-year purchase scheme.
