Manjil Wind Farm
Manjil Wind Farm (نیروگاه بادی منجیل), also known as Manjil Wind Power Plant, is located in Manjil, Gilan Province. It reportedly began operating around 1994 with approximately 9.2 MW and was expanded to approximately 92.2 MW in the 2000s. Its active status was reported in sources dated September and October 2023.
Strategic and market-access role
Manjil Wind Farm matters in the Hormuz Graph because it is tied to one of Iran’s best-known wind corridors, where Gilan’s mountainous gateway meets Qazvin-facing transport routes and northern grid demand. Its role connects renewable generation, geography-specific wind resources, public power infrastructure, and electricity resilience for a province shaped by agriculture, Caspian trade, tourism, and food processing. Unlike generic renewable assets, Manjil illustrates how a specific terrain and wind regime can support non-fossil generation near populated northern markets and corridor infrastructure.
Operations, capacity & connectivity
Related use cases
Useful for renewable-energy screening, wind-resource location comparison, power-supply risk assessment, equipment and maintenance-service analysis, public-project monitoring, and grid-resilience review in northern Iran. Investors and analysts can use it to evaluate service demand around turbines, monitoring systems, grid integration, and clean-energy policy exposure. Practical assessment should verify current operating condition, maintenance needs, grid connection, procurement routes, and regulatory bankability for similar projects.
Capacity and service area
Capacity: Initial operating capacity was approximately 9.2 MW in 1994, using Vestas V27 turbines rated at 225 kW. Sources report expansion to approximately 92.2 MW during the 2000s; this is not a current verified net-capacity figure.
Industries served
Power generation; renewable energy; wind-turbine equipment and maintenance services.
Ownership, operation & expansion
Owner and operator
Owner: The Ministry of Energy of Iran, through affiliated bodies including SUNA, is reported as the historical owner during early development. Later ownership has been reported as involving Manjil Green Power Generation Company and subsequently Omid Taban Hour Energy Management Company, but the current ownership structure is not confirmed. Operator: Iran’s Renewable Energy Organization (SUNA) is reported as the operator during early development in the 2000s. A current operator was not confirmed.
Opening or commissioning
Initial phase began operation around 1994.
Expansion and development projects
Historical sources report expansion from approximately 9.2 MW in 1994 to approximately 92.2 MW during the 2000s. No current expansion project was verified.
