TEHRAN Dec 31 (Shana)--Iran is potentially able to become a leading generator of electricity from wind in the Middle East region, managing-director of Iran Renewable Energies Organization said.
Yousef Armoudeli said the capacity of electricity generation by wind turbines is growing.
He said a number of contracts have been signed for the development of renewable energies.
Armoudeli said low electricity prices do not motivate people to use renewable energies. He added that energy carriers� prices are planned to be raised next year.
Iran generated a total of 203 GW of electricity from all wind turbines across the country in the calendar year to March 2014.
