Energy crisis is one of the issues which have caused many changes in the development of various technologies. Every-year renewal of this crisis in different countries around the world has led many of them to move towards alternative and renewable energy resources and make changes in their energy consumption basket and future programs in order to develop the application of these resources in their country. Considering Iran’s good potential in renewable energies, and also its plan to go towards real prices of energy carriers to expand the application of these kinds of energies along with the worldwide changes, it is necessary to review the facilities, and policy and administrative structures in the field of renewable energies in the country to speed their development with the help of designing a flexible and dynamic structure and removing the existing obstacles and problems. This article reviews the potential of renewable energies in Iran and the countrys current situation in relation to achieving the goals of the fourth development plan in the field of development of renewable energies application, and discusses the barriers and causes of non-realization of these objectives
