Iran Adding Green Energy Capacity

Installed capacity of renewable energy in Iran had a 4-fold increase in the past five years.
In 2015, the capacity of new energy sources was 200 megawatts. It reached 800 MW in 2019, the Energy Ministry news website Paven reported.
However, renewables account for barely 1% of the total installed energy generation capacity that has reached 84 gigawatts.
In the next five years, Iran wants to add 4,000 MW to renewable capacity to meet growing domestic demand and expand its presence in the regional electricity market. Iran buys and sells power in the region.
