Does Iran need a green energy plan?
Iran has realized the value of its vast renewable energy potential—but serious international and institutional obstacles threaten to derail Tehran's green energy plans before they gain momentum. Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume.
How does Iran's subsidized fuel smuggled abroad affect its economy?
For example, up to 15 percent of Iran's subsidized fuel is smuggled abroad (Farhikhtegandaily 2025), resulting in lost domestic revenue and reinforcing inefficiencies. The economic pressure that sanctions place on Iran make immediate internal reform of Iran's energy sector all the more relevant.
How much do Iran's energy subsidies cost?
In 2010, Iran's energy subsidies were estimated at around $70 billion (Salehi-Isfahani et al 2015), a significant burden that contributed to fiscal deficits and hindered investment in critical infrastructure.
How bad is the air quality in Tehran?
Cities such as Tehran, Isfahan, and Ahvaz frequently experience unhealthy air quality levels, with Tehran alone recording the air quality index (AQI) of above 100 on average 20 percent (16.99–33.43%) of the days annually (Khoshakhlagh, Mohammadzadeh, and Morais 2023).

Why does Lebanon need a power grid?
This requirement is mainly to protect the grid's infrastructure and for the safety of personnel who might be working during power cuts. The islanding effect is prominent in Lebanon, given the high frequency of power outages, which leads to an economic challenge due to wasted energy (in the absence of storage).
How did political instability affect the energy sector in Lebanon?
Between 2000 and 2010, the energy sector was affected by the political turmoil that engulfed Lebanon – the assassination of Prime Minister Rafic Hariri and Israel-Lebanon war, and political instability, notably in 2007. In this period, there was a lack of a clear investment plan to keep up with increased demand and deal with EDL's losses.
Does Lebanon rely on distributed power generation?
In Lebanon, there is already some reliance on distributed power generation due to the wide use of diesel generators that cover the deficit between supply and demand.
Why is solar power important in Lebanon?
Power generation in Lebanon has been one of the sectors most affected by armed conflicts, directly through external aggression by Israel and the civil war's infighting, which resulted in substantial destruction of EDL's generation, transmission and distribution assets. Distributed solar PV systems offer Lebanon serious benefits.
