BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 16. The electricity production of renewable energy power plants in Iran rose by 21 percent during the last Iranian year (from March 20, 2024, through March 20, 2025) compared to the previous year (from March 21, 2023, through March 19, 2024).
Data obtained by Trend from the Iranian Ministry of Energy shows that
this metric corresponded to 2,420 gigawatt hours (GWh) of
electrical output.
During the reporting period, photovoltaic installations generated
1,100 GWh, while wind energy systems contributed 989 GWh.
Additionally, micro-hydropower facilities accounted for 278 GWh,
turbo-expander systems yielded 35 GWh, and biomass energy plants
produced 14 GWh.
To note, the capacity for electricity generation from renewable energy facilities in Iran surpasses 1,400 megawatt hours (MW). The localized photovoltaic systems exhibit an electricity generation capacity of 810 MW, representing a substantial 60 percent of the overall renewable energy generation potential within the regional power infrastructure.
