Iran’s Energy Ministry approves plans to launch 500 MW of solar farms in 150 locations in the country.

Iran is launching a first geothermal plant in West Asia as part of its efforts to expand renewables.

The abundance of renewable resources such as solar, wind, biomass and geothermal energy in Iran is so great that its development and expansion is inevitable.

This documentary shows that an oil-rich country like Iran is heavily investing in renewable energy. Right now, the Islamic Republic is among the top ten countries in the world that can manufacture wind turbines all on its own.

President Ebrahim Raeisi on Monday oversaw the signing of building 4,000 megawatt (MW) of solar projects as the largest single contract for the construction of renewable power plants in West Asia.

The economic council of the Iranian government has approved the construction of 3,000 megawatts of wind power, head of Iran's Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization (SATBA) Mahmoud Kamani says.
