چکیده
Iran is one of the most seismically active regions in the world. With each earthquake, a rela-tively large amount of kinetic energy is released on the surface of the earth. In the history of Iran, the occurrence of any earthquake has always been recorded as a major hazard. Consid-ering the importance of using new energies and reducing the use of fossil fuels in seismical-ly active regions such as Iran, the energy from earthquakes can be used as a suitable oppor-tunity to provide alternative energy. This requires that the feasibility of harvesting and stor-ing earthquake energy be examined first. Therefore, in this paper, the released energy of earthquakes that have occurred in Iran since 1974 was examined separately for each seismic zone in Iran and also for each decade in which the earthquake occurred, and finally, the en-ergy released in the earthquake was compared with the required electrical energy. As a gen-eral conclusion, it can be said that Iran has a great potential for harvesting energy theoreti-cally, but it is not currently justified from a practical and economic perspective.

Abstract
Iran is one of the most seismically active regions in the world. With each earthquake, a rela-tively large amount of kinetic energy is released on the surface of the earth. In the history of Iran, the occurrence of any earthquake has always been recorded as a major hazard. Consid-ering the importance of using new energies and reducing the use of fossil fuels in seismical-ly active regions such as Iran, the energy from earthquakes can be used as a suitable oppor-tunity to provide alternative energy. This requires that the feasibility of harvesting and stor-ing earthquake energy be examined first. Therefore, in this paper, the released energy of earthquakes that have occurred in Iran since 1974 was examined separately for each seismic zone in Iran and also for each decade in which the earthquake occurred, and finally, the en-ergy released in the earthquake was compared with the required electrical energy. As a gen-eral conclusion, it can be said that Iran has a great potential for harvesting energy theoreti-cally, but it is not currently justified from a practical and economic perspective.
