Remote Regions in Lorestan Benefit From Green Energy

Electricity demand in 12 remote towns in Khorramabad and Aligudarz counties in Lorestan Province is being met fully with the help of small-scale photovoltaic (PV) power stations, head of provincial electricity company said.
"Green energy accounts for 1.3 megawatts of power generated in the province that is enough for 170 households living in areas with impassable roads," Freidoun Khodnia was quoted as saying by IRNA Wednesday.
Thanks to the angle at which sunlight strikes the panels in Lorestan, the plants' efficiency is at least 20% more than other provinces like Kerman and Yazd.
"Sunlight should hit solar panels as directly as possible and this is a key feature that distinguishes the province from other regions," he said.
