boost its electricity generation capacity by 25,000 megawatts, Energy
Minister Majid Namjou said in Tehran on Wednesday.
He made the remarks in the opening ceremony of the Tehran international
power industry fair.
The deputy Iranian energy minister has predicted that the country's
electricity exports would amount to $1 billion by the end of the
current calendar year (March 20, 2012).
The Mehr news agency quoted Mohammad Behzad as saying that three
billion dollars worth of technical and engineering services will be
also exported by the yearend.
During the first half of this year, Iran's electricity export to
neighbors was 4 billion kwh, ILNA reported earlier, quoting Managing
Director of Iran's power network Mir Fatah Qarehbaghi as saying.
"Iran currently exchanges electricity with Turkey, Armenia,
Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq," he said.
This year, the volume of Iran's electricity export to Iraq reached
the highest rate," he said. "The country imported 100 million kilowatt
hour," he added.
