Abstract

The energy imbalance in Iran stands as one of the fundamental challenges in the country''s energy supply and consumption sectors, exerting profound impacts on its economic, social, and environmental sustainability. This study examines the historical trajectory of energy imbalance in Iran, analyzing key contributing factors such as inefficiencies in energy distribution and consumption, resource wastage, and insufficient development of renewable energy infrastructure. Additionally, the experiences of several developed countries in optimizing energy consumption management are reviewed to identify successful models for mitigating energy imbalance in Iran.
Based on this analysis, a range of solutions is proposed, including the optimization of energy consumption in industrial sectors, the advancement of innovative energy production technologies, the reform of supportive policies, and the adoption of renewable energy sources. The findings of this study demonstrate that a combination of structural reforms, appropriate economic policies, and the utilization of cutting-edge technologies can play a pivotal role in reducing energy imbalance and achieving sustainable development in the country.
