Abstract

Today, with the reduction of fossil fuel consumption in the world, the use of renewable energy has taken on a remarkable role in the world's energy basket. The use of renewable energies and environmentally friendly methods for generating electricity is one of the priorities of today's developed countries. Because of special geographic conditions, Iran has many capacities to use renewable energies, and if new investments can be made, this is best served. In this study, we tried to review the current state of energy and future demands for renewable energy in Iran in order to identify the potential for enhancement of renewable energy technology. The existence of large oil and gas supplies and cheap energy through subsidies in Iran have caused our country to retreat from new energy sources compared to advanced industrial countries. In recent years, the lack of adequate allocation of funds has not allowed large power plants to be built, while, according to the experts in this area, all the Iran's electricity needs can be supplied through solar energy. Such unused capacity will cause the production of electricity in Iran, including the construction and maintenance of power plants will spend tens of billions of dollars of foreign exchange earnings annually. Investing in the new energy industry is an investment for energy independence, and countries that can expand their new energy infrastructure and electricity grid faster in competition for power generation and economic development will be one step ahead of their rivals.
