Abstract: Abstract The limited fossil fuels and the problems associated with greenhouse gas emissions have made clear needs for more and more attention to renewable energies. The high growth of energy consumption in Iran and the exodus of major oil and gas exporters since the end of this century seriously affect the country’s development. Additionally, short-term planning based on the current economic decision-making model can be the biggest obstacle to the growth of renewable energy (RE) production in many developing countries. In this chapter, while briefly introducing capacities and implementation of renewable energies in Iran, the importance of using renewable energies to obtain sustainable development in this country is discussed. Then, the benefits of sustainability in energy, management problems, technical and economic process, policies, planning, and general challenges that have failed to adequately develop these huge resources in the country are explained. Finally, appropriate solutions are provided to address such problems from a techno-economic perspective.
