WANA (Dec 14) – Iran’s installed capacity of renewable and clean power plants has reached 3,165 megawatts (MW) by November 2025, with solar energy accounting for the largest share, according to officials.
 
Hamidreza Azimi, Deputy Head of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization of Iran, said that based on the organization’s latest report, 83 percent of the country’s renewable power capacity—equivalent to 2,634 MW—comes from solar power plants.
 
Azimi noted that during the same period, Iran’s total installed power generation capacity reached 97,909 MW, with renewable energy accounting for more than 3.2 percent of the overall figure.
 
He added that within the renewable energy mix, solar power leads with an 83 percent share, followed by wind power at 12 percent, small-scale hydropower plants at 3.5 percent, and biomass and expansion turbine power plants collectively at 1.5 percent.
 
According to the Ministry of Energy, Azimi also said that under existing plans and subject to the realization of financial resources, more than 7,800 MW will be added to the country’s solar power capacity by next summer. This would raise Iran’s total renewable power capacity to around 11,000 MW.
