Potential of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance
The Deputy of SATBA referred to the capacities of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance for the development of solar power plants and said: "Buildings, parking lots, and lands under the control of this ministry and its affiliated organizations in the provinces can be used as locations for the construction of solar power plants." This action not only helps meet the required electricity but also paves the way for greater self-sufficiency of agencies in energy supply.
Mohammadzadeh Sigaroudi also emphasized the economic attractiveness of investing in solar power plants, stating: "Research shows that considering the country's needs, the payback period for these plants is about three and a half to four years." This clearly indicates the high potential of this sector for investment and financing.
SATBA, considering the existing needs and opportunities, is committed to close collaboration with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance to facilitate the licensing processes and contract arrangements. This collaboration can help expedite the implementation of solar projects and ensure sustainable energy supply.
