The Mobarakeh Steel Solar Power Plant is a response to addressing the energy imbalance and upstream policies in the Seventh Development Plan Law

According to me-metals, the Vice President and Head of the Environmental Protection Organization of the country said on the sidelines of the visit to the Mobarakeh Steel Solar Power Plant: "Today, we visited the 600 MW Aftab Shargh power plant in Isfahan Province, which is being completed. One of the approaches that we are pursuing in the 14th government in response to the energy imbalance and environmental protection is the development and diversification of the energy portfolio and the use of clean energy, especially solar power plants, and this action by Mobarakeh Steel is in line with this approach and upstream policies in the Seventh Development Plan law."

Ansari expressed hope that this power plant will be operational by next year, in line with the goals set, and will reduce fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

During the visit of the Vice President and Head of the Environmental Protection Organization to the completion of the 600 MW solar power plant, the CEO of Mobarakeh Steel stated: Reducing 850,000 tons of CO2 gas production with the full launch of the Mobarakeh Steel solar power plant

Mohammad Yasser Tayebnia, CEO of Mobarakeh Steel Company, on the sidelines of the Vice President and Head of the Environmental Protection Organization's visit to the company's 600 MW solar power plant, while presenting a report on the construction stages of this power plant, the amount of investments made, and the company's comprehensive measures in the field of environmental protection, said: "The Aftab Shargh power plant is the largest concentrated solar power plant in the country and the twenty-fifth largest-scale solar power plant in the world."

He added: "In addition to making a significant contribution to addressing imbalances in terms of energy production, this power plant is also valuable due to the benefits of renewable power plants."

According to the CEO of Mobarakeh Steel, the initial plan was to construct this power plant within 42 months, but given the country's conditions and the existing need, this plan was implemented in a more intensive manner, and by God's grace, the entire capacity of this power plant will be operational by the end of next year.

Stating that 40 megawatts of the power plant's capacity have been put into operation to date and nearly 60 megawatts have been installed, Tayebnia emphasized: "Due to various challenges in importing equipment and installing it, and other problems related to the project, it is very difficult to bring the full capacity of this power plant into operation by the end of next year; but we are seriously seeking to achieve this challenging goal."

According to the CEO of Mobarakeh Steel, the environmental benefits of this power plant include a reduction of 850,000 tons of CO2 per year, which is equivalent to the capacity of 42.5 million trees to absorb CO2 and the equivalent of providing the electricity needs of more than 400,000 residential homes or 15 million light bulbs.

He concluded by noting: "The aforementioned benefits in the city and province of Isfahan, which is among the most polluted cities in the country, are clear examples of Mobarakeh Steel's social responsibility, and we hope that by accelerating the implementation of this project, we can take steps towards creating a better future for society."
