Wind power in Iran
Wind power in Iran has been experiencing a growth in wind generation in recent years, and has a plan to substantially increase wind generation each year.
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. Iran is a member of the Global Wind Energy Council.
