    TEHRAN - Iran exported 3,214 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity to
    its neighboring countries in spring 2014, a 12.43 percent rise
    compared to spring 2013, the Mehr News Agency reported on Saturday.

    Iran also imported 2,859 GWh of electricity in spring 2014, which
    corresponds to the first quarter of the current Iranian calendar year
    (March 21-June 21), the report added.

    In Aril 2013, Iranian Deputy Energy Minister Mohammad Behzad said that
    the country 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.

    The power generation capacity in Iran has grown by 7 percent annually
    during the past 10 years, he said, adding that the figure has averaged
    3.5 percent in the world.

    The country's power generation capacity is currently at 68.38
    gigawatts, 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.
