How does Iran manage natural gas demand?

Within the domestic market, the largest growth in natural gas demand will come from petrochemical and other industries, and the power sector. The Iranian government manages the demand for natural gas by setting sector-specific prices and quotas, the former of which is decided annually while the latter is adjusted dynamically.

How will Iran's electricity demand change by 2040?

With a share of 85%, the sector heavily relies on natural gas as the primary source of energy, while shares of liquid fuels and hydro in 2016 were 9% and 5%, respectively. Our analysis shows that Iran’s electricity demand growth will likely decline from 6.8 to 3.8 TWh/y by 2040, reducing the need for annual capacity addition from 3.0 to 1.3 GW.

Does Iran need a competitive market for natural gas?

This discrepancy highlights the urgency for the country to accelerate energy price reforms and develop a competitive market for supplying natural gas to large buyers (e.g. petrochemical plants). Since 1990, Iran’s power generation capacity has expanded at an average rate of 2.4 GW/y to meet the average gross demand growth of 9.1 TWh/y.

Will Iran increase its power plant capacity in 2021?

Iran has in place legislation obliging the Minister of Energy to increase the share of renewables and clean power plants to at least 5% of the country's capacity until the end of 2021.

Will Iran expand its natural gas export capacity?

Although Iran’s total gas export (to Turkey, Iraq, Oman, and Armenia) may reach 100 mcm/d levels within the next five years, further expansion of the export capacity seems infeasible. Within the domestic market, the largest growth in natural gas demand will come from petrochemical and other industries, and the power sector.

How is energy used in Iran?

Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. It represents all the energy required to supply end users in the country.
