Satba Expediting Green Energy Utilization for Industries 

In a bid to help industrialists generate their own electricity and not be at the mercy of the state-run Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir), the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization (Satba) has speeded up the issuance of licenses to permit industrial units to harness renewable energy, the head of Legal Affairs Office at the state-run Satba said.
“Eight industrial units, which are mostly located in cement, steel and petrochemical facilities, are now allowed to construct solar and wind farms with a capacity of 2,314 megawatts,” Ahmadreza Tavakkoli was also quoted as saying y ISNA.
Giving a breakdown, he noted that of the total capacity, solar and wind power plants will account for 1,877 MW and 400 MW respectively and the rest is expected to be biomass systems.
