Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
How electricity works in Iran
Vertically integrated utilityOne utility does everything
Gas supplies most power; the Iran Energy Exchange trades some electricity.
GenerationState utility
TransmissionState utility
DistributionState utility
CustomersGovernment-set tariffs
Who regulates
No separate independent regulator is listed: the government or the utility itself sets tariffs and technical rules.
Who controls the grid
State-owned Tavanir holding and its subsidiaries run generation, transmission and distribution; Iran Grid Management Company dispatches.
Not part of a larger synchronous grid or regional power pool.
What does “Vertically integrated utility” mean?
A single, usually state-owned utility generates, transmits and distributes electricity. Prices are set or approved by the government or a regulator rather than by a market.

Iran is in Southern Asia. Its coastal or island geography provides a different setting for electricity infrastructure from inland systems. This profile connects country reference information with the historical station inventory and reported electricity generation.
