The Islamic Republic of Iran as a country has seen a large increase in electricity consumption (415
% since 1990) and the KPI data in this category show that renewable energy does not yet play a
28
significant role in the energy mix. Electricity consumption, while on the higher side, is less that the
Iranian national average of 3 300 kWh. 29
Regardless of consumptions levels, reducing energy consumption is not only cost effective but also
a measure needed to address global climate change. Opportunity also exists to make renewables
a greater part of the energy mix to mitigate the effects of climate change.
Enhancing Performance Using ITU-T Recommendations:
When thinking about the ICT equipment used within the smart city eco system, Recommendation
ITU-T L.1316: ‘Energy efficiency framework’ contains a framework of documents for collecting
standards on energy efficiency metrics/key performance indicators (KPIs), measurement
methodologies and energy management solutions for information and communication technology
(ICT) equipment.
