This pattern underscores the inefficiencies generated by Iran's heavy energy subsidies and supports the argument that without structural reforms, Iran's energy sector will continue to impose economic and environmental costs on the nation.
By Behdad Gilzad Kohan and Hamid Dahouei Iran's energy sector, rich in natural gifts and brimming with potential, struggles to realize its promise due to systemic inefficiencies, heavy dependence on fossil fuels, outdated infrastructure, and the weight of international sanctions.
With one of the world's highest energy intensities, Iran's energy consumption significantly overshadows its economic output, largely due to subsidized energy prices that discourage efficient use.
With an operating capacity of only 879 MW, Iran's renewable energy sector now produces less than one percent of the nation's total electricity. In 2023, Iran built less than 75 MW of renewable power, while Saudi Arabia and Turkey added 2,840 MW and 2,800 MW, respectively.
