The chief executive of Iran Organization for Management of Electric Power Generation and Transmission (TAVANIR) said that Iran and Afghanistan are ready to expand their cooperation in constructing wind wind power plants .

EghtesadOnline: Iran is capable of generating more than 30 gig watts (GW) of electricity from wind energy , said Director General of the European Association for Wind Energy Giles Dickson.

EghtesadOnline: On the plains of West Texas, new wind farms can be built for just $22 a megawatt-hour. In the Arizona and Nevada deserts, solar projects are less than $40 a megawatt-hour. Compare those figures with the U.S. average lifetime cost of $52 for natural gas plants and about $65 for coal.

EghtesadOnline: The world’s most prominent energy forecaster will raise its outlook for wind and solar installations following a decade of underestimating growth in the renewables industry.
