The capacity of Iran’s renewable power plants has increased by 0.9 percent in the last month of the past Iranian calendar year (ended on March 20).
As reported, the total capacity of the country’s renewable power plants reached 1,038.03 megawatts (MW) by March 20.
The total capacity of the country’s wind power plants stood at 354.89 MW, while the solar farms’ capacity reached 449.55 MW.
Hydroelectric power plants also reached the capacity of 100.78 MW by March 20, while the capacity of biomass power plants stood at 12.5 MW.
Iranian Energy Ministry has put it on the agenda to add 10,000 MW to the capacity of the country’s renewable power plants by the end of the current government’s administration (August 2025).
Considering the fact that the country’s renewable power generation capacity stood at about 800 MW when the current government took office in August 2021, the mentioned increase in renewable energy capacity would mean a 13-fold rise.—Tehran Times
