Iran's Renewable Energy Potential Remains Untapped

Iran has all it needs to tap into clean energy but despite scientific studies and steps taken in this regard, the real improvement potential has not been effectively exploited, said the secretary of the 6th Annual Clean Energy Conference, slated for February 27-28 at Shiraz University.
Addressing a press conference in Shiraz, capital of southern Fars Province, on Tuesday, Mohammad Yaqoubi said “if one thousandth of the country's total area is allocated to solar power generation” it will produce1,400 gigawatts.
Iran has a land area of 1.65 million km². The area that Yaqoubi refers to would cover 1,650 km2 of land.
