Iran

Iran is investing in energy and utility infrastructure, including power plants, electricity grids and renewable energy installations, to enhance energy security and support industrial development across provinces. Significant water and electricity projects aim to expand generation capacity and distribution networks, while some petrochemical hubs and industrial zones are being developed to leverage the country’s resource base. Investment strategies combine public financing with efforts to attract private and foreign capital, particularly in renewable sectors, but are heavily influenced by sanctions-related restrictions and geopolitical risks. Improving institutional capacity, managing energy-related environmental stresses, and diversifying economic drivers beyond hydrocarbons are central to sustainable infrastructure development.
