Samiei Nejad while recalling that the price of electricity from private renewable power plants is higher than the usual residential sector rates, noted: the best buyers of this type of electricity are industrial and manufacturing companies.
in order to meet the needs of mine and mining industry companies, an agreed-upon rate can be set so that, while preventing power cuts and reducing production, a long-term customer is also created for the supplied electricity.

Samiei Nejad stated that IMIDRO can ink 25-year purchase contracts for this type of electricity for its affiliated and subsidiary companies, and pointed out that investment to produce electricity in IMIDRO's special economic zones in Bandar Abbas, Makran and Lamerd is a priority.
