Reforming Iran's Energy Policy: Strategies for Sustainability ... jpia.princeton.edu Apr 22, 2025 3 facts
claimIran's renewable energy growth is currently limited by high upfront capital costs and broader economic constraints, despite the introduction of feed-in tariffs.
measurementThe Renewable Energy Organization of Iran (SUNA) and the Ministry of Energy introduced feed-in tariffs (FITs) to attract investors, offering 18 cents per kilowatt-hour for solar projects and 12 cents per kilowatt-hour for wind projects for the first decade.
measurementFeed-in tariffs for renewable energy in Iran allow investors to earn approximately $180 USD for every megawatt-hour of solar power generated, which is two to three times higher than Iran’s average wholesale electricity price.
