TEHRAN Oct 20 (Shana)--Renewable energy resources can play a bigger role in providing energy needs of the country given the existence of proper infrastructures in Iran.

Managing director of Iran Renewable Energy Organization (SUNA) Yousef Armodly said development of renewable energies in the country requires participation of the government and the private sector.
