In [[2006]], [[Iran]] generated 45 [[megawatts]] of electricity from [[wind power]] (ranked 30th in the world). This was a 40% increase over 32 megawatts in 2005. Total wind generation in 2004 was 25 megawatts out of 33,000 megawatts total electrical generation capacity for the country.
In [[2008]], Iran's wind power plants in Manjil (in Gilan province) and Binaloud (in Khorasan Razavi province) produce 128,000 megawatts of electricity per year.
In 2004 Iran generated only 25 megawatts from wind power, 32 megawatts in 2005, and 45 megawatts in 2006.
By 2009, total wind power capacity reached 130 megawatts. This was a result of the production of larger wind farms in more coastal and windy areas of Iran, such as Manjeel ([[Gilan Province|Gilan province]]) and Binaloud ([[Razavi Khorasan province|Razavi Khorasan Province]]).<ref>[http://biomassdigest.net/blog/2010/01/28/iran-to-construct-2000-mw-in-renewable-energy-capacity-much-from-biomass/ Iran to construct 2000 MW in renewable energy capacity, much from biomass : Biomass Digest – biofuels, biodiesel, ethanol, algae, jatropha, green gasoline, green diesel, and b...<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://www.instalbiz.com/news/1-full-news-ir-iran-announces-new-renewable-energy-facilities_201.html IR : Iran Announces New Renewable Energy Facilities – General news news<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> In 2021, Iran's total capacity of onshore wind power grew by 0.6%.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Iran Wind Energy Market Size & Share Analysis - Industry Research Report - Growth Trends |url=https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/iran-wind-energy-market |access-date=2023-04-03 |website=www.mordorintelligence.com |language=en}}</ref>

As a further drive toward diversification of energy sources, Iran has also established wind farms in several areas, this one near Manjeel.

The energy system of Iran relies primarily on fossil fuels. However, the country has made steps to decrease its dependency on fossil fuels by investing in wind power.[1] In 2004 Iran generated only 25 megawatts from wind power, 32 megawatts in 2005, and 45 megawatts in 2006. By 2009, total wind power capacity reached 130 megawatts. This was a result of the production of larger wind farms in more coastal and windy areas of Iran, such as Manjeel (Gilan province) and Binaloud (Razavi Khorasan Province).[2][3] In 2021, Iran's total capacity of onshore wind power grew by 0.6%.[4]

By 2021, the total amount of produced energy from wind farms was 310 MW in Iran.[5] In March 2023, 'Mil Nader' 50-MW wind farm became operation in Sistan and Baluchestan province.[6]
