The company said the plants could generate about 1,000 MWh a year, potentially covering 100% of its administrative buildings’ electricity demand. This is a comparison of generation potential, not a claim of off-grid operation.

Its administrative buildings used 888,031 kWh and 877,772 kWh in Iranian years 1403 and 1404, respectively.
