As per government plans, state organizations, companies and NGOs enlisted by the Ministry of Energy, are obliged to purchase at least 20% of their electricity needs from green energy suppliers in two years.

According to the national energy roadmap, the government plans to promote green technology to increase the nominal capacity of power plants from 74 gigawatts to over 120 GW by the end of 2025.

The country plans to generate over 5,000 MW of renewable energies in the long-term -- 4,500 MW of wind power and 500 MW of solar.
