- Hydroelectric power projects to cost an estimated $15 billion
- Solar, wind and hydro power pursued for fuel diversification
Iran is working on regulations to attract investment in
renewable energy, according to Elham Aminzadeh, adviser to President Hassan
Rouhani, as the nation considers solar, wind and hydro power as ways to
diversify from regular crude-based fuel.
The government is working on laws designed to be as attractive
for foreign investment as they are for domestic companies, Aminzadeh told a
renewable energy conference Sunday in Tehran.
There is potential for 30,000 megawatts of hydroelectric
power in Iran, with $12 billion of investment needed to complete 15,000
megawatts, according to Mohammad Reza Rezazadeh, managing director of
state-owned Iran Water & Energy Resources Development Co. Some 11,700
megawatts of hydro power is already operating, and the Ministry of Petroleum is
working to add 5,000 megawatts in the next three years, he said in an interview
at the conference.
