Heightened concerns over the shortage of natural resources and the importance of finding proper substitutes necessitate greater attention to renewable energies, a senior energy official said.
"There is an enormous potential for generating energy via clean resources, including wind and solar powers. However, we are lagging far behind in this regard," Hashem Oraei, the head of Iranian Wind Energy Association, was also quoted as saying by ISNA on Friday.
According to Oraei, the government had planned a 5% growth in renewables during the Fifth Five-Year Development Plan, but it was not materialized by the end of the plan in 2016.
