TEHRAN - Iran exported 1.4 gigawatts (GW) of electricity to
Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Armenia, and Turkey on Saturday, IRIB
reported.
Meanwhile, the country imported 324 megawatts (MW) of electricity from
Armenia and Turkmenistan.
Iran exported 11.054 billion kilowatt hours of electricity to its
neighboring countries in the past Iranian calendar year, which ended
on March 20.
Iran also imported 3.968 billion kilowatt hours of electricity last
year, showing 8 percent rise year on year.
Iran has constructed power plants twice as many as the average number
of power plants which have been constructed in the world during the
past decade, deputy energy minister Mohammad Behzad has said.
The country's power generation capacity is currently at 68.38 GW, he added.
Iran currently trades power with Turkey, Armenia, Turkmenistan,
Azerbaijan (including Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic), Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq.
Iran seeks to become a major regional exporter of electricity and has
attracted more than $1.1 billion in investments for the construction
of three new power plants.
