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.
