Wind power in Iran

The energy system of Iran relies primarily on fossil fuels. However, the country has made steps to decrease its dependency on fossil fuels by investing in wind power. Iran's installed wind power capacity grew from 25 MW in 2004 to 32 MW in 2005 and 45 MW in 2006. By 2009, total wind power capacity reached 130 MW. This was a result of the development of larger wind farms in coastal and windy areas of Iran, such as Manjeel (Gilan province) and Binaloud (Razavi Khorasan Province). In 2021, Iran's total capacity of onshore wind power grew by 0.6%.

By 2021, the total installed wind power capacity in Iran was 310 MW. In March 2023, 'Mil Nader' 50-MW wind farm became operation in Sistan and Baluchestan province.
