In 2010, Iran's energy subsidies were estimated at around $70 billion (Salehi-Isfahani et al 2015), a significant burden that contributed to fiscal deficits and hindered investment in critical infrastructure.
There are multiple factors in Iran's energy crisis. One, the domestic gas and power prices in Iran are too low and this leads to high energy demand. The low prices are essentially a government subsidy aimed to keep the public complacent. In the past, when the government has raised energy prices, they have often triggered large-scale protests.
This pattern underscores the inefficiencies generated by Iran's heavy energy subsidies and supports the argument that without structural reforms, Iran's energy sector will continue to impose economic and environmental costs on the nation.
With such low prices, there is no motivation for private investment in gas and power supply in Iran and the government loses money on the energy it provides to the public. Second, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders control the energy sector, like most infrastructure and communication sectors in Iran.
