    TEHRAN - Overhauling national power plants will be completed by
    the next 20 days and there will be no blackouts across the country
    during summer, said the managing director of Iran power generation,
    transmission and distribution management company (TAVANIR).

    At present, some 120 million cubic meters of natural gas is fed to
    power plants per day, Homayoun Haeri added, Mehr news agency reported
    on Friday.

    In February, Haeri said that Iran exchanged some 1.8 gigawatts (GW) of
    electricity with the neighboring countries, ILNA news agency reported.

    Armenia was the main exporter of power to Iran and Iraq was the main
    importer with 284 megawatts of export and 1,054 megawatts of import,
    respectively.

    Iran plans to connect its national power electricity grid to Russia
    by the next calendar year which will end on March 20, 2013.

    Iran will exchange up to 15 billion kilowatt hours (BkWh) of
    electricity with its neighboring countries by the end of the current
    year, up 50 percent year on year.

    The country is currently exchanging electricity with Afghanistan,
    Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Pakistan, Nakhichevan, Turkey and
    Turkmenistan and plans to add 5,000 megawatts of capacity to its
    power grid annually.
