Semnan province in Iran will soon have its first ever privately built
wind and solar power plant. The power plant called Ghadir will be
constructed over an area of 1,200 hectares at a cost of around $4.5

phases and each phase will have a production capability of 100 MW.

Ghadir
has unveiled its plans to launch the Phase Zero of the power plant in

power generated in this phase will be linked to the grid. The Phase one
construction of the plant is expected to commence soon. The proposed
plant is anticipated to generate over 3,000 direct and indirect job
opportunities in the region.

Currently Iran leads the countries
in the Middle East in solar as well as wind power generation. The
country presently manufactures 660 kW wind turbines designed and built
by local engineers. For producing wind turbines, the country imports
some of the raw materials and few electronic parts. In addition to the
low level production activities, the wind industry of the country is
also involved in other wind energy associated works such as research on
pilot projects, performing feasibility studies for installing wind
turbines, designing and installing ... >>>
