SAEDNEWS: According to a report by local Iranian media, Iran and China have concluded a contract to produce 7,000 megawatts of solar panels.
Iran is grappling with power shortages and frequent blackouts, but renewable energy—particularly solar—offers a promising solution, according to Tehran-based Fars News Agency.
Under this year’s Iran-China energy agreement, 7,000 megawatts of solar panels will be provided, funded by Iran’s National Development Fund. If executed on schedule, the project could reduce summer peak loads and establish a roadmap to overcome the electricity deficit by 2026.
Fars highlights that a smart mix of targeted solar imports and support for knowledge-based local production is Iran’s best path toward resolving the energy crisis and advancing a green economy. The 7,000-MW initiative with China offers a unique chance to boost technical capacity and secure a sustainable renewable energy future—if policymakers follow through with consistent, practical measures.
