Iran Energy Exchange admits power from 32 renewable and distributed generation plants

The 237th supply committee of the Iran Energy Exchange met on the evening of Sunday, 11 Mordad 1405 (August 2, 2026) and ruled on the admission of energy carriers to the physical and secondary markets as well as the allocation of savings certificates. Under its decision, power from 32 renewable and distributed generation plants was admitted to the exchange's physical market.

At the same session the committee approved the admission of electricity from two retail companies to the secondary market. It also agreed to allocate 4,088,684 natural gas savings certificates and 51,929,578 electricity savings certificates to applicants.

Admitting renewable and distributed generation plants to the physical board widens the pool of power sellers on the energy exchange and opens a route for these units to sell electricity directly to industrial consumers. Savings certificates are an instrument that lets a consumer who cuts its own consumption offer the saving on the exchange.
