Abstract

In the sector of electricity production, environmental issues and the limitation of investment sources are the main factors that influence the process. The reduction of costs and the destructive impacts on the environment have always been mentioned by specialists. Consequently, the seriousness of the environment protection and the production of electric energy have led the authorities to focus on SOLAR POWER PLANTs. It is obvious that the issue of required resources for investment surpasses the environmental factors in our country. Here, the main question is whether in the current situation of our country, the replacement of fossil power plants with SOLAR POWER PLANTs is possible or not and whether we can be hopeful about such possibility in the future.Considering the high costs of electricity production by SOLAR POWER PLANTs and the situation of electricity production costs with regard to the SOCIAL COSTs, this study aims at doing an economic evaluation on the above-mentioned issue in Iran.In this study, the MARGINAL COST of 1kwh electricity production in each power plant was estimated. Then, an evaluation was done considering pollutants and greenhouse gases emitted from fossil power plants. The imposed SOCIAL COSTs were also taken into consideration. In conclusion, it is shown that the use of SOLAR POWER PLANTs electricity is not economical yet; however, photovoltaic systems are economical in the same situations. Regarding the increasing demand for electricity, the scarcity of resources, and the large amount of pollution, fossil power plants will not be economical in near future.
