Thermal power plants, which supply the majority of Iran’s electricity, operate at an average efficiency exceeding 39.6 percent (Tehran Times 2025), far below global benchmarks. This inefficiency means that much of the energy input is wasted, leaving power plants ill-equipped to meet the heightened demand.
For sustainable transformation, Iran must align its energy policies with global trends and future challenges: A comprehensive national energy transition framework is essential. This plan should set ambitious targets for renewable energy adoption, carbon emissions reductions, and energy efficiency improvements.
This pattern underscores the inefficiencies generated by Iran’s heavy energy subsidies and supports the argument that without structural reforms, Iran’s energy sector will continue to impose economic and environmental costs on the nation.
These challenges plague Iran with recurring energy crises, including seasonal energy shortages, environmental degradation, and socio-economic discontent. This article investigates the root causes of Iran’s energy challenges and offers a comprehensive analysis of the critical deficiencies of Iranian energy policies.
