Via Armenia, Iran's electricity network connects to Europe
Jan 2, 2007
Iran's electricity network company manager, Masoud Hojjat informed
that connection with Europe's electricity network was possible via
Russia and Turkey. "Actually this could be done via Azerbaijan
Republic and Georgia through Armenia as the mediator side," he
stated.
Also Iran's electricity development organization director, Mohammad
Behzad acknowledged that Iran maintained current energy exchange ties
with neighboring countries but was considering initiation of these
ties with Europe as well.
He also informed that two project lines were ready to initiate the
plan.
"One of them is through the Sarakhs border which will be ready by the
end of this year (Iranian year, March.21) and Turkmenistan must also
make the necessary provisions ready in its own land so that we can
transfer energy in better conditions," stated Behzad.
"The other line is through Ardebil province via Azerbaijan," he
added.
He also informed that Iran was to install a series of new lines to
Russia.
"The new lines are being constructed through Khouy, Ahar and Jolfa
and the project completion date is estimated within three years. By
then we will have electricity ties," he concluded.
