Bidirectional Link Between Sustainable Development and Reliable Electricity Supply in Iran

This paper analyzes the bidirectional relationship between sustainable development and reliable electricity supply in Iran from the perspective of energy economics. Using eight analytical equations, five tables, and five figures, it examines reliability indices, energy intensity, GDP impacts, and policy implications. The core argument is that enhancing power system reliability is a prerequisite for sustained economic growth, while development goals necessitate strategic investment in resilient energy infrastructure.
