    The Russian side will launch operations within synchronization project
    of energy systems of Azerbaijan, Iran and Russia in the nearest
    future, Azerenergy JSC (production and sale of power energy in
    Azerbaijan) head said.


    "We have worked much in our territory. I think the Russian side will
    launch operations within the agreement that was concluded earlier in
    the nearest future," Pirverdiyev said.

    Realization of this project will allow implementation of mutual volume
    of power energy between Azerbaijan, Russia and Iran, as well as draw
    other countries of the region to this project. Earlier Russia and Iran
    held talks about type of cooperation. One of sides insisted on mutual
    sale of power energy, the other one - on exchange.

    Presently, Azerbaijan realizes joint project with Iran to increase
    energy exchange up to 700 MWt.

    Its completion will allow supplying of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic
    with 150 MWt of power energy, as well as total Azerbaijani energy
    system with 400 MWt in winter.

    The program is realized in collaboration with Iranian Sunir company
    and includes construction of a 330kv electricity transmission line-
    Alibayramli thermal power station - Imishli, second line Imishli -
    Parsabad, a 220km electricity transmission line- Alibayramli TPS -
    Salyan, Salyan-Masally, Masalli-Astara, as well as a substation Salyan
    and expansion of four more substations. The gross length of the
    electricity transmission line will make up 350km.

    Energy exchange between Azerbaijan and Russia continues, Pirverdiyev
    said.

    Roughly 8.5 million kilowatt/hour of electric power was exported from
    Russia to Azerbaijan in the first quarter compared to 33 million
    kilowatt/hour of electric power exported from Azerbaijan to Russia.

    Roughly 335.5 million kilowatt/hour of electric power was exported
    from Azerbaijan to Russia in 2008. Roughly 111.3 million kilowatt/hour
    of electric power was exported from Russia to Azerbaijan in 008.
