Energy Minister: Iranian Experts Working on Water, Electricity Projects in 50 World States
“The specialists of our country's water and electricity industry are active in over 50 countries of the world,” Mehrabian said.
“Iran has achieved 100% self-sufficiency in water and electricity sector, and the measures adopted in the water and electricity fields not only meet the needs of the country but also other countries, specially the regional states,” he added.
Mehrabian also said that construction of renewable energy power plants with the capacity of 11,000 megawatts by the private sector has started.
The Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy has identified and supported technological projects in the fields of new and renewable energy, electricity, and power plants.
Limited fossil energy resources and problems caused by greenhouse gas emissions have made it necessary to pay more attention to renewable energies. The access of developing countries to all kinds of new energy sources is essential for their economic development.
Considering the favorable and appropriate capacity of renewable energies in the country, the development of these valuable resources seems important, as it leads to sustainable development.
