Iran eyeing foreign investment to raise clean energy output

Tehran

IRAN, which gets most of its electricity from natural gas, is considering new rules that may entice foreign investors to raise the amount of clean energy generated on its grid.

The government is reviewing regulations to streamline and accelerate the process "for investors to bring funds inside the country and repatriate the profits", presidential adviser Elham Aminzadeh said in an interview at a conference on renewable energy investment.
