The plan is aimed at removing the imbalance of electricity and power outages.
The amount of electricity generated by the power plants will be 11 times more than that of the electricity generated at the Bushehr Power Plant.
The contract for the construction of the power plants will be signed by the private sector, qudsonline.ir reported.
Deputy Head of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization of Iran (SATBA) for Investment Affairs Arash Omidi pointed to a contract concluded with the private sector for constructing a 4,000-MW renewable power plant and said that the largest contract for simultaneous construction of renewable power plants in West Asia will be inked in Iran.
The proven electricity generation capacity of the renewable power plants in the country stands at 30,000 megawatts currently, he added.
Experts believe that the development of renewable power plants in the country can help remove the electricity imbalance to a great extent and also assist the stability of the power grid.
