Rooftop photovoltaic power installations in Tehran generated 3,500 kilowatt hours of electricity in the last fiscal year (ended in March), chief executive officer of Tehran Province Electricity Distribution Company said.
“Not only did this volume help reduce load pressure on the national grid, it also contributed to curbing greenhouse gases in the sprawling capital city in 2019,” Hossein Sabouri was quoted as saying by ISNA.
Generating the same amount of power (3,500 kWh) with fossil fuels would need 800,000 liters of oil that would release 2,245 tons of CO2 in the 1-year period, he said.
