Iran's renewable energy installed capacity reaches 760 MW

     According to the renewable energy power generation data recently released by the Ministry of Energy, Iran ’s annual renewable energy installed capacity has reached 760 MW, accounting for 1% of the power structure, mainly including wind power, photovoltaic power generation, small hydropower, and biomass power .

    It is understood that wind power and photovoltaics account for 85% of Iran's renewable energy generation scale and biomass power generation for 1%. Photovoltaic projects are mainly concentrated in the desert areas of eastern Iran, while wind power projects are mainly distributed in the Caspian Sea region in northern Iran.

    Iran's Ministry of Energy also revealed that Iran currently has 32 renewable energy power plants under construction. After the project is completed, the installed capacity of renewable energy power generation in Iran will increase by 380 MW. Currently, Iran has about 115 renewable energy power stations.

    It is worth mentioning that Iran's small-scale photovoltaic power stations have been increasing in recent years, mainly providing electricity to some remote areas. The Iranian "Tehran Times" also stated that Iran is committed to providing 5,000 megawatts of renewable energy annually in the next five years.
