    Iran builds its first wind-solar hybrid power plant

    July 1, 2011 - 15:07 AMT


    PanARMENIAN.Net - Iranian experts and engineers managed to build the
    country's first wind-solar hybrid power plant in Kharg Island,
    Southern Iran.

    The plant, with a daily capacity of 50 kWh of electricity, was
    installed in the Kharg island in the Persian Gulf by the Iranian
    experts at a cost of $100 000, semi-official Fars News Agency
    reported.

    Inauguration of the plant came as Iranian Energy Minister Majid Namjou
    announced that Iran plans to generate more than 5,000 megawatts of
    electricity from renewable energy resources by 2015.

    "Iran is pursing to fulfill its major strategic objectives in the
    field of renewable energies," Namjou said during an international
    energy forum in the Austrian capital of Vienna on June 22.

    Namjou went on to say that renewable energies will account for about
    three percent of Iran's electricity needs by 2015.

    He also called on all companies and organizations to invest in Iran's
    green energy projects to help develop the new sources of energy in the
    country. "This cooperation will be beneficial for investors and will
    also accomplish Iran's objectives in developing the new sources of
    energy," the Iranian Minister said.
