Ahmad Emtehani, the manager of Iran's Gas Transmission Operation Zone 4, announced the completion of the two solar power plant project in this region. These power plants have been established to implement the national gas company's macro policies for energy consumption management, reducing the use of fossil fuels, and increasing the utilization of clean energy.
Objectives and Benefits of the Project
Emtehani further stated that supplying electricity from renewable sources, reducing energy costs, and increasing the sustainability of operational infrastructure are the main objectives of this project. The use of solar energy in this region, in addition to supplying part of the electricity needed for operational centers, will help reduce energy consumption costs and decrease environmental pollutant emissions.

The Role of Renewable Energies in the Gas Industry
Emtehani emphasized the importance of a forward-looking approach in the energy sector, stating that the gas industry, alongside its primary mission of safe and sustainable natural gas transmission, must also play an effective role in environmental preservation and optimal resource management. According to him, the implementation of these projects is a practical step towards realizing this approach and moving towards a green industry.
The manager of Iran's Gas Transmission Operation Zone 4 also noted that utilizing solar radiation capacity in operational areas provides the opportunity to produce clean and sustainable electricity and can enhance the resilience of operational centers in energy supply. Thus, this project not only aligns with energy resource management but will also contribute to environmental preservation.
Emtehani stated that the development of renewable energy projects and maximizing the use of domestic capacity are part of this region's plans. With the implementation of similar projects, efforts will be made to take more effective steps towards optimizing energy consumption and protecting the environment.
