    FAQs about Iran wind and solar energy storage project

    How much wind power does Iran have in the MENA region?

    Although Iran was the leader in the MENA region with regard to power generation from wind energy with 92 MW installed capacity in 2010 (Farfan and Breyer 2017), it has experienced flat growth in recent years. However, 27 MW of installed wind power capacity was added to the system in 2014 (Farfan and Breyer 2017).
