Despite significant energy shortages, Iran has increased gas and electricity exports over the past year, particularly to Turkey and Iraq. Iran’s gas exports to Turkey rose by 5%, and electricity exports to Iraq climbed by 6%, while domestic consumption remains high due to heavy subsidies. The government aims for $5 billion in export earnings, but power outages are common in industries. In response to rising energy costs, Iran has introduced a three-tier diesel pricing strategy. Officials are encouraging large industrial users to import electricity, yet the country’s infrastructure can only support minimal imports. The energy crisis continues to challenge Iran’s economic stability.
