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.
The Iranian targeted subsidy plan (Persian: طرح هدفمندسازی یارانهها), also known as the subsidy reform plan, was passed by the Iranian Parliament in 2010. The government described the subsidy plan as the "biggest surgery" to the nation's economy in half a century and "one of the most important undertakings in Iran's recent economic history ".
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.
Iran’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organisation (SATBA) has announced plans to retender 2.2 GW of solar power capacity during the current Iranian fiscal year (March 21st‑March 20th), after disappointing take‑up of the original offering.
Iran wants to save up to $100 billion on subsidies within three to four years. In 2011, the Iranian parliament approved a $508 billion budget based on $80/barrel oil price. This bill also factors in $54 billion from price hikes and subsidy cuts. Iran's oil and gas projected revenues by the International Monetary Fund.
In March 2010, the Iranian Parliament approved a $347 billion budget, in which the allocation from subsidies and the oil price were set at $20 billion and $65 per barrel, respectively. According to the Vice President for Parliamentary Affairs, Iran's subsidy reforms would save 20 percent of the country's budget. [citation needed]
