Iran's Mana Energy Pak (MEP Cell) company recently opened and operated a photovoltaic cell production plant in Khomeín, western Iran, with an initial annual production capacity of 150MW. Iranian Energy Minister Ali Akbar Mehrabian and other officials attended the opening ceremony of the plant.
The Minister of Energy of Iran attended the opening ceremony of Mana Energy Pak's photovoltaic cell production plant operated by Khomeini City
Mehrabian said: "When we answer questions about the impact of using fossil energy, including water resources and fuel consumption, environmental pollution and other issues, and the use of renewable energy power is the answer to all these problems.
We are committed to providing comprehensive support for the production of photovoltaic panels and the accelerated deployment of renewable energy. The initial annual production capacity of this photovoltaic cell production plant opened in Homeen was 150MW. After the expansion, the annual production capacity will eventually reach 1.5GW. "
Desde o início de 2020, a Mana Energy Pak tem feito todos os esforços para construir esta planta de produção com uma produção anual final de módulos fotovoltaicos de 1,5 GW, e a construção será finalizada até o final de 2023. A planta será a primeira planta a produzir células fotovoltaicas no Irã e no Oriente Médio.
O Irã ainda não atingiu sua meta de 5% de sua eletricidade a partir de fontes de energia renováveis. A Organização Iraniana de Energia Renovável e Eficiência Energética (SATBA) licitou recentemente a implantação de instalações de geração de energia de energia renovável de 10 GW nos próximos 4 anos e recebeu uma oferta para 80 GW em dezembro.
Iran's Energy Minister Ali Akbar Mehrabian stated that Iran will increase the installed capacity of renewable energy power generation facilities by more than 50 percent next summer to 1.4GW.
