3. IMPORTANCE OF ENERGY ENERGY IS A BASIC NEED FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
IT IS A MAJOR INPUT FOR SUCCESSFUL FAMILY AND FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF IRAN’S, POLICIES AND PROGRAMMES

4. The aims of rural development
Definition of rural development:
To improve life level of rural populations like improvement of income and occupation.
To reduce inequality of distribution of rural income and facilities.
To expand of abilities in rural section by training.
The aims:
Creation of occupation in economical sections in order to improve develops of industry sections and sections of services.
creation of motivation of rural to remain in rural areas.

5. The aims of rural development
Creation of balance between areas in economical, social, cultural aspects. This inequality has created on basis of historical, natural, infrastructure and economical factors. Therefore, the responsibility of the Government is to decrease these inequalities.
Changing of rural society from a purely natural environment to a technical environment due to development of economical sections. This subject will create increased incomes for rural population.
( Ministry of Jahad Agriculture, 2001)

6. Rural Electrification Objectives
Improving the quality of energy used by rural residents for daily life.
Promoting farmers̓ income growth.
Reducing poverty.
Improving local ecological environment.
improving the standard of living and increase quality of life.
Reducing in the number of people migrating to urban areas.
improving local health and safety issues.

7. Photovoltaics & Rural Electrification Deparmant
Developed and Promote RE Resources in Rurals in line with the objectives of renewable energy objects in the country.
Participation in design strategy, the long-term, medium-term and short-term programs , guidelines and standards for the use of photovoltaic systems to increase the share of the country's total energy production.
Use of new technologies and definition of new projects.
Evaluation studies ,supply project’s specifications and in the implementation of projects, installe and analyze project performance

8. Our Experience
More than 2750 kW , Photovoltaic Systems are installed in IRAN(Grid or Stand alone).
Design, supply, installation and O&M of these projects is run entirely by Iranian capabilities

9. PV power plant in Damghan
15 kW PV array in Semnan
10 kW PV grid connected in Tavanir
PV power plant in Damghan
30 kW grid connected in Taleghan

10. Rural Energy situation in Iran
Almost, %30 of our population live in rural areas
In end of 2009, Power supplied to the villages with more than20 residents.
Power supply to some villages remain with less than 20 residents and households.
These people live in remote and mountainous areas
Because of limited infrastructure in these areas, grid extension and the provision of diesel supplies is difficult. rural areas of country with population.

12. Rural Electrification by RE. (PV)
At the first, 58 pilot PV (single house or central)
Expanded to 328 households in phase 2.
Now we pave this way and:
The project is being developed by in the electric power distribution companies
SUNA used solar PV technologies to supply electricity to rural households and institutions in 9 provinces. Between , the project subsidized the installation of 328 solar home systems.

Rural selection
Feasibility study
Design system
Installation
Feasibility , economic, technical And structural studies in the villages that have no access to the national electricity grid
villages confirmed
After accepted there:
Design sustainable systems and provide documents on standards code
Transported technical teams, install the systems
Training the end- user of systems
Project delivery

20. O&M: Operators of systems are in2 levels: 1- end user sys.
2- Private sectors’ distribution power company
3- SUNA provided O&M procedures and trained them for that

21. IRAN’S advantages & Capabilities
Producing PV modules by 3 Private sectors’ manufactures & companies
Producing electrical instruments as Inverter, Battery and Charge Controller in Private sectors’ companies.
Engineering and technically service by Iranian Experts & Private sectors’ companies.

22. Gains and Successes
Supporting manufacturers for transferring and localization of RE technologies which are expected to become competitive in medium terms, e.g. PV systems.
Supporting the research centers to expand their research programs for PV technologies that are becoming competitive in longer than 10 years period.
Providing sustainable and accessible energy to the remote and isolated areas.
Building capacity and development provides business opportunities

23. Gains and Successes
Training, supporting research centers, encouraging manufacturers to produce required PV equipments.
Raising public awareness.
Promote application of alternative energy sources other than fuelwood, in order to reduce deforestation, indoor health hazards and time spent by rural women in search of fuelwood;
to clear the ground for the private sector to come forward.

24. FUTURE PLAN
Promote and Developed RE, in the other rural areas (less than 20 residential)- at least 3500 family in country by Photovoltaic Systems in next 5 year (our programs to develop).
Promote and Developed PV sys. For nomads people.
Promote and Developed PV system in grid connected to 4MW in our programs to develop.

25. CONCLUSIONS
We Produce PV equipments and technical service, completely in Iran
Knowledge, technical and engineering service transfer to other countries
We could share our experience to other countries
The success depends on two factors largely beyond government control:
- Economic growth
- The corresponding increase in personal incomes

26. CONCLUSIONS
Given the importance and weight attached by the Government to rural energy, a specific policy on rural energy is in the making
Promote entrepreneurship and private initiative in the production and marketing of products and services for rural and renewable energy;
4/21/2017

27. CONCLUSIONS
Facilitate increased availability of energy services, including grid and off- grid electrification to rural areas.
Establish norms, codes of practice, standards and guidelines for cost effective rural energy supplies.
Private sectors’ participation is always the most important option for energy to access to rural people

28. CONCLUSIONS
Support research and development in renewable energy technologies
Promote entrepreneurship and private initiatives in the production and marketing of products and services for rural and renewable energy.
