Electricity production at Iran''s only nuclear power plant
Iran''s only nuclear power plant reached a production milestone of over 7 billion kilowatt-hours in the calendar year to March, according to the head of the Atomic Energy
Iran has 212 power plants totalling 77,400 MW and 74,618 km of power lines mapped on OpenStreetMap. If multiple sources are listed for a power plant, only the first source is used in this breakdown.
It has been estimated that Iran has the potential to produce at least 6,150 MWh of electricity by wave power from its coastline on Persian Gulf alone. Iran is also experimenting with electricity generation from organic wastes and plans to build power plants using sewage and organic waste of domestic and industrial origin as fuel.
It was predicted that Iran would account for 17.08% of MENA power generation by 2014. Natural gas was the major fuel used to generate electricity in Iran in 2009, accounting for an estimated 56.8% of primary energy demand (PED), followed by oil at 40.8% and hydro power at 1.4%. [citation needed]
