Iran - Wind energy leader in the Middle East
Managing director of Iran's Renewable Energies Organization has said that Iran is the only producer of wind turbines in the Middle East.
Youssef Armodeli told IRIB that Iran's wind power plants in Manjil (in Gilan province) and Binaloud (in Khorasan Razavi province) produce 128 megawatts of electricity per year.
"Wind turbines produced by Iran are exported to other countries. The turbines made in Iran are generally 30 percent cheaper than the ones produced abroad," he added.
"Since the fossil energies are not renewable, the renewable energies are becoming more common day by day," Armodeli said.
The renewable energies are wind, geothermal, hydro power plants, biomass, and hydrogen.
