Renewables development increased by three times
The development of Iran renewable energy has increased by 225 megawatts (MW) which has been a threefold increase in current government since two years ago, said Ali Shabnavard, the director general of the supervision, qualification, and project control of Iran’s Renewable Energy and Electricity Organization.
About 79 percent of the installed renewable energy capacity of Iran has been launched before the current government took office in 2021, while 21 percent was added later and the quick growth has been achieved thanks to proper policies and facilitations of the current government, according to IRNA. The current capacity of Iran’s renewable power plants stands at 1,084 MW since thirty years ago, Shabnavard noted.
In the past years, only one method was used to develop renewable energy, while currently many other methods have been considered to accelerate the development of renewable energy, the official added.
