Highlights

  • Renewables are developing slower than expected.
  • Iran is the world's 7th largest CO2 emitter and has not ratified the Paris agreement.
  • The power sector is controlled by state-owned companies Tavanir, TPPH, and WRM.
  • Iran has the world's second largest gas reserves, about 40% of which comes from the South Pars field.
  • Gas production is increasing rapidly (5%/year since 2010).
  • Natural gas dominates the power mix (87%).
  • Diesel and gasoline prices are among the lowest in the world despite several adjustments.
  • Electricity prices have doubled since 2019 to reduce consumption.
  • Natural gas represents around 70% of the energy consumed.
  • Electricity consumption has been increasing by 4%/year since 2010.
  • Investments in new infrastructures have been significantly affected since 2006 by international economic sanctions.
  • The country aims to boost its gas production by 50% by 2029.
  • Around 12 GW of gas capacity is under construction.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Petroleum is responsible for the entire hydrocarbon sector: oil, gas, refining, and petrochemicals. The Ministry of Energy is in charge of the electricity sector and oversees the energy efficiency and renewables policy.

  • Energy Companies

    Electricity:

    Tavanir (Iran Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution Management Company) is the vertically integrated national electricity company and controls 16 regional electricity companies.

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Iran has the world's second largest gas reserves (behind Russia), amounting to about 34 000 bcm, i.e. 17% of the world's total conventional gas reserves (end of 2022). Most of those reserves have not yet been exploited because they are not linked to oil fields (non-associated gas), and because two thirds are located in offshore fields.

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    In 2015, gasoline and diesel prices increased significantly as the government started to lift fuel subsidies. Consequently, diesel prices more than quadrupled that year. In 2020, the government raised gasoline and diesel prices again in a context of large budget deficit concerns, reaching US$0.33/l (+38%) and US$0.12/l (+71%), respectively.

  • Energy Consumption

    Per capita energy consumption stands at 3.2 toe (similar to that in the Middle East or the EU average), including about 3 400 kWh in 2022.

    Energy consumption has stabilised since 2018 and stood at 276 Mtoe in 2022. It grew by +3.7%/year between 2010 and 2018.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Iran aims to develop its hydrocarbon resources, particularly its gas exports.

The Iran energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the Iran country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

  • Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
  • Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
  • Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
  • Energy Balance: total and per energy.
  • Iran Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Iran energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
