At 17 MW, Yazd is well above the median solar plant in Iran (10 MW). Technically it is described as Assumed PV. Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Solar PV converts sunlight directly into electricity with no moving parts or fuel; output varies by time of day and weather, so it pairs with storage or flexible backup.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
The #2 largest solar power plant of 8 in Iran by capacity.
Iran has 8 solar power plants in this dataset, together about 90 MW of capacity.
