The opening and commissioning ceremony of the southern gate of the Sirjan Special Economic Zone and the three-megawatt rooftop solar photovoltaic power plant took place in the presence of a group of provincial and municipal officials, regional directors and activists from the electricity sector.

According to the Sirjan Special Economic Zone Public Relations Department, the ceremony began with a special meeting in the Sirjan Special Economic Zone Conference Hall, attended by Dr. Hossein Amiri, CEO of the Kerman Civil Engineering Organization; Engineer Razavi, Governor of Sirjan; Engineer Bahrami, Mayor of Sirjan; Hojjatoleslam Walmoslemin Heydari, Temporary Imam of Sirjan; Engineer Hamid Shahsavari, CEO of the Sirjan Special Economic Zone; members of the Board of Directors; zone managers; a group of managers from the city’s executive agencies; and officials from the Kerman province’s power industry.

At the opening of the meeting, Dr. Hossein Amiri, Director General of the Kerman Civil Engineering Organization, welcomed the participants and presented a report on infrastructure development in the Sirjan Special Economic Zone. Discussing the implementation of projects such as the dry port and the logistics center, he emphasized that these projects were part of strategic plans aimed at strengthening the region’s position in the areas of transport, trade, and investment.

Furthermore, Dr. Hassan Asadi, Deputy Director of the Sirjan Special Economic Zone, explained the details of the southern gateway project for the region and stated: The implementation of this project was carried out with the cooperation and support of the Sirjan Municipality and will play an important role in facilitating access for residents of the residential part of the region and patients and visitors of Hazrat Fatima Al-Zahra Hospital (PSL).

He added: “Before this route was established, traffic flowed via the Sirjan-Tehran road, which, in addition to increasing the distance, created greater risks for traffic. The opening of this new route will help improve road safety while reducing travel time.”

In another part of the meeting, engineer Takafli, CEO of Kianero, presented a report on the implementation process of the three-megawatt rooftop solar photovoltaic power plant and stated: “This project was completed by constructing 18,000 square meters of structure and roofing and is considered one of the largest rooftop solar photovoltaic power plants in the country.”
