The approach of the Iranian legal system regarding the development of renewable energy (Case Study: Electricity)

Developments in today's world in the light of the world's industrialization, increasing air pollution, limited fossil fuels and the right to a healthy environment, reveal the need to use renewable energy. The method of the present research is descriptive-analytical and the research data has been extracted from books, articles and official statistics by the Ministry of Energy, the World Energy Organization and other related institutions. Explaining what is legally available in Iran in the field of renewable energy development and moving towards it is one of the most important prerequisites on which the main purpose of this research is based. What are the results of this study are: 1) Weak legislative and executive mechanisms in Iran regarding the need to use renewable energy, due to cheap and easy access to fossil energy, without considering its environmental costs. ; 2) The set of domestic laws and regulations in the field of electricity do not have the ability to implement international obligations to reduce Iran's emissions. 3) The implementation of Iran's emission reduction obligations interferes with some of the current laws, strategies and procedures in the field of electricity in Iran, and the relevant laws in the field of electricity in Iran are not sufficient to meet the international obligations of COP21.
