According to Iran's state news agency, an official of the country's Renewable Energy Agency said recently that Iran has issued construction permits for about 100 GW solar power installation projects to encourage private sector investment. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power can meet the country's electricity needs to some extent, said Jafar Mohammednejad Sigaludi, deputy director of investment affairs at the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization of
Iran. Of the construction project permits that have been issued, only about 15% are expected to actually generate electricity in the end.
Sigarudi pointed out that renewable energy alone could not fully meet Iran's current 23-24 GW electricity demand gap , but could alleviate the imbalance between supply and demand of electricity to a certain extent.
13 GW in 2023, increasing to 18 GW in 2024, and is expected to reach 25 GW in 2025. Iran has also suffered significant economic losses
due to frequent power crises. In response, the Iranian government is trying to actively respond to the power crisis. First of all, the government clearly regards the development of renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy and nuclear energy as its strategic direction .
Iranian Energy Minister Abbas Aliabadi has previously said that Iran plans to put into operation about 11 by the end of March 2026.
The Iranian News Agency reported in August that the head of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization of the Iranian Ministry of Energy said that according to the government's plan, by March next year. The national renewable energy power generation capacity will be increased from 2G W to 7 GW , and the scale of photovoltaic power generation in operation is more than 100MW per week .
According to local media reports, as of November 2025, the installed capacity of renewable energy in Iran reached 3165 MW, of which the installed capacity of solar power was about 2634 MW . The highest proportion is about 83% .
In April, local media reported that the Iranian government was seeking to make it mandatory for all government departments to adopt off-grid solar systems to meet their electricity needs. Government spokeswoman Fatima Mohajerani said all government buildings in the country would be gradually disconnected from the national grid to increase power supply to households and industries.
In addition, in mid-late September, Iran signed a 7GW photovoltaic enterprises . According to a senior Iranian official, Iran is already working with Chinese companies on smart grid technology, air-insulated switchgear, < a href = "https://www.databm.".
