| This study prioritizes energy governance policy areas in Iran, examining the gap between global trends and domestic requirements. Utilizing a bibliographic method to identify global trends, we derived pertinent policy recommendations and administered a structured questionnaire to 18 purposively selected energy experts. The questionnaire assessed key indicators—community energy, sustainable energy, energy transition, energy security, climate change, global energy governance, energy geopolitics, and energy efficiency—based on their importance for Iran and the current performance of its energy governance system. Data analyzed via Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) identified energy geopolitics (mean importance=4.6/5) as the most critical indicator, followed by energy security and energy efficiency (mean importance=4.4 each). Performance across these high-priority areas was rated undesirable (mean performance 1.9-2.2). Conversely, energy transition and climate change were deemed low domestic priorities. The results reveal a significant priority misalignment, with Iran's strategic focus being energy geopolitics, energy security, and efficiency. Consequently, policy proposals emphasize resource allocation to these critical areas, utilizing community capacities for decentralized energy, and stringent monitoring of energy goals in the national development plan. |
