Electricity generation in Iran utilizes diverse sources including thermal power plants, hydroelectric power plants, nuclear power plants, and renewable energy sources.

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. output per unit of capacity (kWh/kWp/yr).

We look at electricity consumption later in this.
