Iran’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organisation (SATBA) has launched a tender for solar PV projects, which will have a combined capacity of 4GW.
SATBA’s tender invites both domestic and international companies to participate. It also noted that there are currently 80GW of renewable energy projects that have been submitted by private investors for review, and could all potentially compete in the procurement exercise.
The agency wants to select proposals for PV solar projects up to 10MW in size over the next four years, the Iranian Ministry of Energy had announced recently. Meanwhile, selected projects will be awarded a fixed tariff and construction permits, SATBA revealed in its tender documents.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, in 2021, 456MW of PV solar capacity was installed by Iran.
