Jajarm Solar Park

active

In 2016, the Renewable Energy Organization of Iran and a group of investors from Switzerland (Ecofinance Company) and Italy signed a contract to build a solar power plant in Jajarm. Based on the contract, the solar plant with a capacity of 30 MW will be wholly designed, built, installed and launched by the European firm. Investors began the construction of the solar plant in July 2017. In line with its declared policy to raise investments in renewables, the government will buy the electricity from renewable plants at a tariff that is 17 percent more than the regular price and will increase the tariff by an additional 30 percent if domestic equipment are used in building the plants. The duration of the offtake agreement was not disclosed. Swiss Ecofinance Company will cooperate with local firm Hamoun Mehr Afarin for the construction of the plant. The PV facility will be installed on a 60-ha (148-acre) site in proximity to a 400-kV power station. It will use locally-made components, except for the PV panels and inverters. Once operational, its output will be supplied to the cities of Garmeh and Jajarm in order for them to avoid future power deficits. http://www.powersyst.bg/news/read/78 https://renewablesnow.com/news/swiss-ecofinance-breaks-ground-on-30-mw-iranian-solar-scheme-report-576168/
