It is expected that the tender process will end in 2018. The company or consortium, which has won the tender, the station should be built in 2 years.

“Masrik-1” will be the region's largest solar power plant with 55 MW peak power. It should also be noted that based on the licenses issued by the Public Services Regulatory Commission, the construction of 12 solar photovoltaic power plants with a relatively small, up to 1 MW power supply has already started, which will have about 10 megawatts capacity.

Three of them have already been commissioned and started to supply electricity to the system.
