Major Wind Power Plant Opens in Eastern Iran
A large wind farm, with the capacity of generating 50-megawatt electricity, was inaugurated in the east of Iran by the country''s
To boost up the wind energy production, the Renewable Energy Organization of Iran (SUNA) based its new feed-in tariff policy on the German equivalent, assured government electricity sales for 20 years, and implemented a 15% tax cut for businesses using domestic components.
The adoption of onshore wind energy with advanced technology attracts companies for high investment. Iran's onshore wind power installed capacity increased by 0.6% in 2021. In 2021, the installed capacity of solar energy in Iran was 310 MW as compared to 2020, which was 308 MW.
By 2009, total wind power capacity reached 130 megawatts. This was a result of the production of larger wind farms in more coastal and windy areas of Iran, such as Manjeel ( Gilan province) and Binaloud ( Razavi Khorasan Province ). In 2021, Iran's total capacity of onshore wind power grew by 0.6%.
Iran's onshore wind power installed capacity increased by 0.6% in 2021. In 2021, the installed capacity of solar energy in Iran was 310 MW as compared to 2020, which was 308 MW. Wind energy in Iran has great potential. The 61.2 MW Sihapoush wind farm, located in the northwestern province of Qazvin, is the country's largest project.
