Financing Based on Energy Saving in Iranian Law

Providing sustainable energy and energy efficiency is one of the main concerns of governments. Due to the limited amount of fossil resources and environmental considerations, it is inevitable for governments to implement efficiency and energy saving policies. It is very clear that the implementation of energy saving programs will not be possible without adequate financial resources. In the other words, governments, as the main energy supplier, cannot carry out energy saving without proper financing. In this article, financing based on energy saving has been studied in Iranian law, and it examines the Iran rules and regulations and also whether Iranian law have been a suitable legal basis for attraction investors or financiers for the implementation of efficiency projects or not. In this research, it was concluded that providing financial resources based on savings has many advantages compared to other methods, but the rules governing the energy market in general and the rules and regulations governing this method in particular should be revised and modified according to the experience of other countries.
