The policy research to date has focused on subsidy removal, renewable energy integration, energy efficiency improvements, governance restructuring, and the role of international sanctions in shaping Iran’s energy landscape. Subsidy reform is a particularly important and contentious topic due to its implications for Iran’s economy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
By Behdad Gilzad Kohan and Hamid Dahouei Iran’s energy sector, rich in natural gifts and brimming with potential, struggles to realize its promise due to systemic inefficiencies, heavy dependence on fossil fuels, outdated infrastructure, and the weight of international sanctions.
